Ingredients
  • 1 ½ c oat flour
  • ⅓ c cocoa powder
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅔ c unsweetened almond milk (or other milk)
  • 4 oz jar of baby food, can substitute ½ c unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tbsp jelly or jam
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • ¼ - ½ c chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Prepare a cupcake tin with liners; I like to spray the liners when baking without fat to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Mix together the milk, baby food, jelly, vanilla, and vinegar. Depending on the consistency of the jell you use, the mixture may not be fully homogenous-- this is okay!
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add optional chocolate chips, if using.
  5. Scoop the batter into the cupcake tin.
  6. Bake 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a center cupcake comes out clean.
Notes
I would recommend not using sugar substitutes in this recipe as I have not had tasty results.
Don't have oat flour? Make your own by pulsing rolled or instant oats in a food processor until powdery. Make sure to not leave any large pieces as this will change the texture. I have not had luck pulsing steel cut oats into flour.
