Vegan whole wheat chocolate muffins (easy)

Ask Amma

You can call them cupcakes if you want but they are whole wheat and made with brown sugar so they won’t be as light and fluffy as a cupcake.  On the other hand they are very sweet, more than you might expect from something called a muffin.  Best of all they are quick and easy.  Great for surprise guests or impromptu picnics.  The other thing they are great for is kids in the kitchen …

So here you go:

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa or carob powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vinegar

Optional:  1 tsp cinnamon powder

Mix it all up and pour into oiled cake or muffin pans.  Top with chopped walnuts or slivered almonds if desired.

Place in preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 30 minutes / until done.    Top with sliced strawberries if desired.

My name is Aravinda. After my daughter was born I found that the pursuit of peace, justice and sustainability on the home front stretches our minds and challenges us to practice the solutions in our daily lives. As they say, wisdom is gained through experience. And experience is gained due to lack of wisdom. Here I chronicle a bit of both, with a little help from my friends and the world wide web.
