Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes

Hello! After a couple days of being super healthy I decided that it was cupcake time. because why not. Tonight I made rice with red peppers and avocado to maybe balance out these babies

Not to fret, they are still very vegan.

I presumably stumbled upon this recipe a while ago because I found as a screen shot in my phone so! here goes

the recipe as I have tweaked it:

2 1/2 cups of flour

2 tbsp baking soda

1 avocado

1 1/2 cups of palm sugar (brown sugar works too I guess)

1/3 cup of olive oil

4 ounces of melted dark chocolate

1 1/2 cups of almond milk (soy/whatever)

What you do here is: preheat the oven to 350. mix the flour and baking powder in one bowl and the avocado, sugar, and olive oil in another. the wet stuff bowl is the bigger bowl. After properly mixing the avocado, sugar and oil, add in the melted chocolate... Then mix in the almond milk.

Mix in the flour stuff into the bigger chocolate-y/avocado-y bowl. Note: this batter is really delicious. 

Pour the batter into cupcake holders and bake them for 15 minutes. 

If you desire frosting:

2 cups --> however much powdered sugar you want

2 handfuls of melted dark chocolate

1/2 cup of vegan butter

maybe fruit? I like blueberries. Also coconut flakes are always acceptable. Always. 

Hello! This is my first time writing, but wasting no time I will be getting straight to today's subject which is:

Homemade Granola!

yup. thats a decent amount of granola.

So basically this is super easy to make; the hardest part being the collection of ingredients which brings us to the next step of this culinary equation

You will need:
3 Cups of Rolled Oats (more or less depending on how much you want- I used 3 and I got this heaping bowl)
1 Cup of Almonds
1 Cup of Walnuts/hazelnuts
1/4 Cup Flaxseeds/sunflower seeds
1/2 Cup of Maple Syrup
1 Cup dried Fruit
Anything else you feel the need to put in this mixture


The oven should be preheated to 350.

Next: You wanna mix the dried stuff together pretty evenly first and leave the dried fruit for last. you DONT want the dried fruit involved in anything till the last minute. Then you just kinda mix the maple syrup in it till its just sticky and great. I used a cookie pan and just dumped the uncooked granola on it and spread it evenly over it and it seemed to do well. Place this in the oven for 30 minutes.
After waiting you should have yourself some deliciously browned granola (:  Add the dried fruit and whatever else (I put in blueberries because reasons.) Pretty sure this can be used for some pretty great breakfast cereal or a great snack! Side note: It tastes fantastic with almond milk
