vegan chocolate cupcakes


It was my friends Birthday celebration and, well, truth be told, nobody noticed these were vegan.
Most said these are the best cupcakes they’ve ever had, granted drinks had been pouring, but all in all they were enjoyed and consumed!

I was approached by somebody about advertising for this book, “are you sure that’s vegan” like doing a review of it, and I have started doing the review unknowingly I suppose.

Their website contains a free pdf of this recipe so I think I can post the recipe. If I’m not supposed to somebody let me know.

Oatmeal cranberry chocolate chip cookie bars

Perfect easy treat for BBQ’s , beach days  and parties!

All you need is one jelly roll pan and you get 40 cookies

2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegan margarine (earth balance)
1 1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup dried cranberries
2 cups oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips

-Mix eggs,baking soda, baking powder, salt,margarine and sugars together until smooth.

-Slowly add oats and flour, mix until fully combined.

use an ungreased clean jelly roll pan[aprx 10.5" x 15.5"],  but if your jelly roll pan is black in disrepair like mine, line it with parchment paper first.

Plop on down all the dough and just work it flat and even in the pan with your hand, you can use a spatula but I found the dough was sticking to my spatula . It was just easier to use my clean hands.

Once all even and in all the corners preheat oven to 350F

Bake for 18-20 minutes until it is golden brown on top.

Take out of oven and let cool down. over turn pan, or lift parchment paper off, and cut into desired square sizes.

Yummmmy!
