Cupcakes! The very best baked good out there. Especially, when they are chocolate. 😉
Ingredients Needed:
- Flour + Salt+ Baking powder
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Coconut oil
- Milk
- Maple syrup
- Plain Greek yogurt
- Eggs
- Vanilla
Flour: White or White Whole Wheat can both be used
Coconut oil: If desired, melted butter can be used as a substitute.
Milk: Regular dairy milk or almond milk are both ok to use.
No Maple Syrup on Hand? Go with honey instead.
Frosting: I have provided a link to the recipe card used in these photos. It contains no refined sugar and is really quick to make. Of course, feel free to use your favorite chocolate ( or any flavor) frosting for these.

I wanted to like this so bad. It tasted of nothing but cocoa powder. I think if it had 1/2 cup that might have been better. These cupcakes were spicy bc of the cocoa.
Sorry they didn’t work out for you Sarah…thanks for the feedback!
I haven’t tried making chocolate cupcakes with maple syrup! These look absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing at Fiesta Friday party!
Thanks Jhuls!
