INGREDIENTS

For Cupcakes

240 ml oat milk or any other plant-based milk

3 tsp vinegar

95 ml coconut oil

70 g light brown sugar

1 scoop The Protein Work Vegan Protein Extreme

110 g plain white flour

3 tsp baking powder

50 g cocoa powder

For the Icing

180 g vegan butter

300 g icing sugar

½ tsp vanilla extract

6 tbsp cocoa powder

½ tsp almond milk unsweetened

DIRECTIONS

• For Cupcakes
• Preheat the oven to 180°C / 356°F (fan oven) and line muffin tin with wrappers.
• Combine almond milk and vinegar (to create what is called vegan sour milk). Stir and set aside.
• In a separate bowl mix coconut oil and sugar.
• Pour over your sour milk and stir.
• In a separate bowl, sift all your dry ingredients. Mix well.
• Add your wet mixture to your dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.
• Pour or spoon in your mixture until the cupcake mould is ¾ full.
• Bake 20-25 minutes. Remove the cupcakes when a wooden pick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
• Let it cool completely.
• For the Icing
• Whisk together all your icing ingredients using a metal or electric whisk. It’s very important that your icing is stiff and holds its shape.
• Check if your icing is stiff enough. Run a fork, spoon or spatula through the icing. If it stays still and firm, your icing is ready. If not, add more icing sugar one tbsp at a time.
• Grab your icing and spoon it into your icing bag to fill it.
• Start at the outer side and create a spiraling circle on top of your cupcake. Move slowly but firmly.
