Vegan Toasted Marshmallow and Chocolate Cupcakes
The marshmallows melt inside the cupcakes and go toasty on top. The chocolate essence adds depth but they are lovely without it.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups Self Raising Flour
- 2/3 Cup Granulated or Caster Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 Cup Cocoa
- 1 tsp Chocolate Essence (you don't have to use this but I think it adds a depth of flavour)
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 tsp Cider Vinegar
- 1 Small Ripe Banana (mashed)
- 6 tbsp Melted Vegan Margarine
- 1/2 Cup Vegan Mini Marshmallows
- 1/2 Cup Dairy-Free Chocolate Drops or Chips
- 1 Cup Non-Dairy Milk
Instructions
- Line your muffin tins and preheat your oven.
- Sift flour, sugar, soda and cocoa into a bowl. Always sift your cocoa – otherwise you end up with lumps everywhere.
- Then add vanilla, chocolate essence, vinegar, mashed banana and melted margarine.
- Mix together until combined, then pour in one cup of non-dairy milk and mix briefly until all ingredients are entirely moist. It makes quite a runny looking batter but don't worry! With a wooden spoon mix in the chocolate drops and marshmallows.
- Now fill the cupcakes holders about 2/3rds of the way up and bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. You do need to keep an eye on these as the marshmallow will burn on the top if you leave the cupcakes in for too long and while that may remind you of bonfire night it’s not a good look in a cupcake!
- Then leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then finish cooling on a wire rack. I’ve left them icing free as I think they are sweet enough on their own – if you want you can top them with Vegan Buttercream Frosting.
If you fancy cookies instead, but like the idea of marshmallows…try these!
