Double Chocolate-Coffee Vegan Cupcakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup water
1 cup strong coffee, cooled
1 cup vegetable oil (light-tasting, like canola or safflower)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Prepare coffee ahead of time and let cool (or it will melt the chocolate chips!).
Combine the dry ingredients (flour to brown sugar) in a large bowl. Add the wet and mix until well-combined and smooth.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F Prepare your muffin tins with liners, or grease them.
Now you can choose to: a) add the chocolate chips directly into the batter, or b) save them to sprinkle on top of the filled muffin cups, in lieu of a frosting.
Bake 25-30 minutes, or until the toothpick test proves them done.
Remove from oven, let cool at least 10 minutes, and frost or enjoy as they are. :).
