Ingredients
Before we begin, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cupcakes dense.
5. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
8. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorating Ideas
Once your breakfast cupcakes have cooled, it’s time to get creative with the decorations. Here are a few ideas to inspire you:
– Dust the cupcakes with powdered sugar using a sieve.
