Chocolate cupcakes are a quintessential part of every diet, or at least they should be. When I decided to stay vegan, I knew there were certain things I could never live without, and chocolate cupcakes is on the top of that list. Vegan baked goods get a bad rap. This is because many vegan treats try to be healthy on top of cruelty-free. This means cutting out fat, sugar, and, let's face it, taste, along with all the animal products. This is totally unnecessary. I don't eat baked goods to get fiber and protein. I eat them for fun! I promise that these cupcakes are both compassionate, and delicious. There have been so many accomplishments in developing vegan friendly foods, that there is no reason to sacrifice flavor anymore. So the next time you're making chocolate cupcakes, give these a try. You won't be disappointed!
Chocolate Cupcakes
Chocolate Protein
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder sifted
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/3 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
1 cup cold water
Heat oven to 350º. Prepare cupcake pans with canola oil spray, or cupcake liners. Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla, oil, vinegar and water, and stir until just combined. Scoop batter into prepared pans. Bake for 15 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Alternatively, this can be made into a cake. Just bake in a 9" round cake pan for 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
Chocolate Frosting
1/3 cup non-dairy butter
2 cups confectioners sugar sifted
1/4 cup cocoa powder sifted
2/3 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 to 3 tablespoons water or non-dairy milk (add more as needed)
In a stand mixer, whip the butter until smooth. Add alternately 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon water or milk while mixing. Add cocoa and vanilla and mix well. If frosting is too dry, add more liquid. If it's too thin, add more sugar. I like to scoop frosting into a freezer bag, snip off one corner, and swirl onto the cupcakes.

Christmas Sales Nutribiotic - Rice Protein Chocolate, 22.9 oz powder Overview
NutriBiotic Rice Protein Vegan, Chocolate 80% Protein Content Hypo-Allergenic GMO & Gluten Free NutriBiotic chocolate flavored Rice Protein is a great tasting vegetable protein made from non-genetically modified whole grain sprouted brown rice. Free of the common food allergens normally associated with soy, milk, egg, wheat, corn, and yeast. This highly soluble powdered formula mixes easily into water, juice, or meals for an extra protein boost. Chemical processing is avoided by using a purified water and natural enzyme procedure. Low Temperature Enzyme Process The whole brown rice is first ground into a fine flour. Pure filtered water is then added, forming a thick slurry (called liquefaction) Natural enzymes are added in at different stages to break down and separate the carbohydrate and fiber from the protein portion of the whole grain. All processing temperatures are kept below 90° F. The low temperature and chemical free processing prevents denaturing of the amino acids. The final stage involves filtering, drying and low temperature milling.SAVE NOW on Christmas Sales Offers below!
