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!

Hi:)
Can you plz tell me the measurements of all the ingredients in gm or ml?
I have been meaning to bake them but i am worried that i’ll get the wrong quantity and botch this all up!
Deborah says
@abc, I have only baked them as written, but there are tons of converters online. Maybe try this one – http://www.onlineconversion.com/cooking.htm
Jac says
Can I use butter instead of oil for this recipe? if yes, same amount as oil?
Deborah says
@Jac, I’m guessing you can, but I haven’t tried it.
Leslie says
These cupcakes are SUPER yummy! I have gotten comfortable enough with this recipe I use it as a base recipe and add my own “flares” to it. For example I used strong coffee instead of water one time and they came out very mocha-y in flavor. Then I have also added about 1/2 c of semi-sweet choco chips (dusted in flour to prevent them from falling to the bottom of the cupcake) and those were wonderful as well. This is just a grand recipe and I have spread the word about it–I now have my mom making them and she is the queen of butter!
Robin says
These were great! First choice over a Dora birthday cake. Making them again today and I’m not allergic to eggs!
Charmaine says
Hello in your recipe you mentioned baking soda, would that be baking powder or soda bi carb?
Deborah says
@Charmaine, Here it is called baking soda – different than baking powder. I’m guessing it’s the same as your soda bi carb, but I’m not sure. I’d do a quick internet search to make sure it’s the same thing.
Charmaine says
@Deborah,
Thanks a lot! Wasn’t sure about the difference if any but you helped make it easier. Going to be trying out your recipe soon..can’t wait.!! 🙂
laurel says
I saw vanilla extract and i don’t have that what should i substitute for it?
Deborah says
@laurel, I think you’d be ok to just leave it out completely. I’m not sure what would make a suitable substitute.

This was my first time trial with cupcakes,wanted to bake something different for my hubby's birthday, i was a little afraid how it would turn out and being a vegetarian was difficult .. but your recipe sounded so easy, i baked 18 cupcakes and all came out awesome.. Thank you for the wonderful recipe..
Charlene says
I made these last week because my son is allergic to eggs… They were delicious!!! And they together perfectly, I will definitely be making this again. Thanks!
Deborah says
Abhishek – I'm not sure what happened! I made these quite awhile ago, but I don't remember them being overly salty. I wonder if it has to do with the kind of salt you used??
Abhishek Kandoi says
Looks awesome. But when I baked it for 20mins and tasted it…it was like yaak!. It was so salty.. Please help..
The Santos says

Debbie says
Wow I just found out I have an egg intolerance, I can’t eat to many of them or I have a horrible reaction, this is just up my alley as I love chocolate.
Kevin says
Those cup cakes look good! I feel a chocolate craving coming on.
Valerie says

Spryte says
I wish I’d had a recipe like this when my husband went vegan for a month, just to see if he could!
