Raspberry Chocolate Mini Cupcakes

Ok.. I admit it. I have a SERIOUS sweet-tooth and am a total choco-holic!


Raspberry Chocolate Mini Cupcakes

1 C self-rising flour mixture (detailed in previous post)
2 Tbsp buckwheat flour
1/4 C cocoa
1 C sugar
1 *unit* egg replacer (I used 1 1/2tsp ener-G powdered egg replacer)
1 tsp baking soda

1/2 C applesauce
1/3 C canola oil
1/4 C rice milk
2 tsp raspberry extract
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Mix the dry ingredients well and then mix in the wet ingredient. Stir/mix until very well blended.

Grease mini muffin pan (or line with paper mini muffin cups) and fill the cups mostly full with the cake batter.

Place on the middle oven rack and back for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Makes 2 dozen super moist, not too strong, not toooo sweet, super fluffy mini cupcakes. (or one cake, 1 dozen cupcakes, etc...)

Jack's food allergies broken down...

Severe: dairy, egg, wheat
moderate: sesame, all tree nuts, peanuts

They only RAST tested Jack for the above allergens. He tested positive on EVERY thing they tested him for. His total IgE number was over 8000.

suspected: banana/avocado, soy (may only be a "sensitivity", but it didn't start being an obvious trigger until the past month), citrus, onion and garlic, and shellfish (I ate octopus and his eczema flared up really badly for 3 or 4 days afterward).
