These Eggless Chocolate Cupcakes are filled with chocolate flavor and are perfect for those with egg allergies. Great for vegan baking, as well.
I guess I’m all about the chocolate lately – I had a chocolate cake last week, and now chocolate cupcakes!!
I actually wanted to post about these months ago, but when I went to type up the post, I realized I had misplaced the recipe and I couldn’t find it anywhere! Well, as luck would have it, I found the printed recipe so now I can post about them!
I made these over 6 months ago. If you remember, last year I made cupcakes for each of my family members for their birthdays. Well, one of my brother in law is not a cake fan. Actually, he just hates eggs, and anything that has eggs in it. (I am sooo glad my husband is not like this, or I’d have to eat all the baked goods myself!) I didn’t want to skip out on his birthday treat, or find something different for him, so I went on the search for an eggless cupcake recipe. I should have realized that there are tons of recipes out there today that are eggless – I just needed a vegan recipe!! This was my first vegan recipe, and I was quite impressed. If they all taste this good, I just might have to go vegan more often!

As long as there is chocolate … 😀

You know what some things will never change. You can take the eggs out of the cake – but try taking the chocolate out of it. Chocolate lovers will go berserk! These are pretty imaginative but really really gooooood.

The other day I noticed a cookbook called ‘Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World’ on Amazon. I simply couldn’t imagine it–I’ve never baked without butter and eggs–but now… K x

I have that cookbook, it really is amazing! So, so yummy, I bought t when I was sad about missing cupcakes (I’m vegan now but then was newly lactose intolerant) It seems daunting at first but it is written in such a friendly way, you end up feeling like a friend is teaching you to make them 🙂 I always recommend that li’l book, it has every recipe you could think of, and is great for the lactose-intolerant or vegan or just people who want to try something new (and you can lick the batter! No eggs to worry about :))

These look great, I’ll have to pass these along to a friend who has an egg allergy :)!

These cupcakes are delightful! I made up a batch, really quickly, before naptime. And wow! I was really impressed by the moist, not too rich flavor and since they were so good I topped them with simple whipped cream…and promptly ate 2! I have enjoyed your blog and thought you did a great job on Studio 5 today!
Thanks!

I had to laugh. I do that all the time, too. I go to post something and have no idea where the recipe is. Makes me nuts. Gorgeous cupcakes!
Abby says
You can’t get much easier than that recipe – and they’re so cute to boot! I’ve never cooked vegan, but if this is what you get I’ve gotta add it to the list.

@Maria♥, they may look great, but when my sister and I (who’s a vegan) made them, they were HORRIBLE! And she agreed too. They were thrown in the trash. And, we strictly followed the recipe.
Deborah says
@Em, I’m so sorry you didn’t like them. You are the first person that I’ve heard from that didn’t care for them.
Matt says
I just made them and they worked perfectly and taste like a perfect chocolate cupcake. Must have missed a step!
Skyler says
Em what type of oil did you use? Some are stronger tasting than others and make recipes taste disgusting. On the bottle it often says the taste.
Deborah says
If you use a neutral oil you should be good. I always use vegetable oil, but canola oil, grapeseed oil or safflower oil are popular as well.
Elyse says
I’m a huge fan of eggs, especially eggs in baked goods, but it is so nice to see this yummy looking recipe for vegan chocolate cupcakes!! I’m going to add this one to my recipe file!
Maria says
I will have to try the eggless version. They look wonderful! Glad you found the recipe!
