Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the quinoa flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine evenly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, sour cream, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the milk until the batter reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. If using dark chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
Evenly divide the batter among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost or serve as desired and enjoy!
