Dessert cravings on? Why not try these dairy-free chocolate cupcakes? They are a great way to treat your sweet tooth. The creamy frosting on the top with a soft, gooey texture inside… sounds perfect!
There is no need for butter or buttermilk, you will get a soft and moist texture with heavenly chocolate filling.
The most exciting part of this dessert is that it comes in an excellent serving size, the same as muffins. You might get confused between cupcakes and muffins. No worries, let us enlighten you about that.
Cupcakes and muffins are similar in size, and there is no big or small difference. The only way to point out their dissimilarities is to focus on the topping.
Muffins do not have any frosting, and they are plain from the top. In contrast, cupcakes have toppings of different flavors, such as cream cheese frosting, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, blueberry, and many other frostings.
Another best thing about cupcakes and muffins is that you do not need a spoon, plate, or fork. You can eat it right away with your hand in one go; they’re super moist and fudgy.
Also, cupcakes have cake dough, whereas muffins have bready dough, creating a slight difference in texture.

Vegetable oil is the best option to use when you are making cakes, cupcakes, or muffins. If you run out of this oil, you can also use canola oil or pure olive, which has a milder taste.
If you want to reduce sugar intake, honey is the best way to add sweetness to your cupcakes. It will deliver the same taste, but you must manage the quantity when replacing sugar.
So, for every cup of sugar, you can use a ½-¾ cup of honey, depending on the sweetness you want to add. You will see pretty good results.
Not only in cakes, honey will also work great in other baking stuff like blueberry muffins or honey shortbread cookies.
If you run out of all-purpose flour, then have a look at the following gluten-free options that you can try:
