Ingredients:
Cupcakes:
- 120g applesauce or apple puree
- 275g coconut yogurt
- 80g chocolate spread
- 80g coconut sugar
- 60g vegan chocolate protein powder
- 80g gluten-free plain flour
- 30g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Filling:
- 100g strawberry jam
Frosting:
- 180g dairy-free butter
- 90g chocolate, melted
- 15g cocoa powder
- 45g powdered sugar
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a muffin tray with 9-10 cupcake cases.
- In a large bowl, combine the applesauce or apple puree, coconut yogurt, chocolate spread, and coconut sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add the vegan chocolate protein powder, gluten-free plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda to the bowl. Fold the ingredients together until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 9-10 cupcake cases, smoothing out the tops. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Set the cupcakes aside to cool.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled, make a small well in the center of each one. Fill the middle with 1-2 tablespoons of strawberry jam.
- To prepare the frosting, beat the dairy-free butter and melted chocolate together in a medium bowl using a handheld beater until well combined.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, then beat again until the frosting is smooth, light, and fluffy.
- Pipe or spread the frosting on each cupcake. Top with crushed freeze-dried strawberries, fresh strawberries, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for decoration. Enjoy!
