I've been reading the recipes forum for a while and never posted anything, so I thought I should contribute! I cook a lot and love it, so it's fun to read all these recipes. This is a recipe for yummy chocolate cupcakes that are very chocolaty, but safe! and low fat! They are very quick and easy to make too. You can leave out the chocolate chips if you like, and they are just as good.
1 1/2 c. flour 1/2 c. sugar 1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1/3 c. water 1/2 c. orange juice 3 T. canola oil 1 T. vinegar 1 tsp. vanilla 1/3 c. mini chocolate chips (optional)
Sift flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Combine water, orange juice, oil, vinegar and vanilla in a separate bowl. Add liquid ingredients to bowl with dry ingredients and stir until just moist. Fold in chocolate chips if desired.
Spoon into paper-lined muffin pan (12 cupcakes). Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and cool.
