Chocolate Cupcakes - Soy, Dairy, and Dye Free

Dark Chocolate Cupcakes



Mix together and set aside:

2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of  baking powder
pinch of finely ground sea salt

In a mixing bowl, cream together:

1/2 cup cocoa
2 tablespoons of coconut oil
3/4 cup of rapadura

Add in:

1 egg

Take a scant 3/4 cups of almond milk and the flour mixture and alternately add t the bowl.  Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until creamy.

Pour into greased or lined muffin tins. Should make around 6 to 8.  Bake in a preheated over, 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.  Cupcakes are done when toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.


*Notes:  These cupcakes are not overly sweet. If you want them sweeter, add less cocoa.  If you do not like the somewhat grainy texture of whole wheat flour, use white (at your own risk of course!).

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love to bake things for myself my kids, and chocolate chip cookies rank as the best.  Thinking about making them healthier and soy and dairy free posed a challenge.  First of all, chocolate chips have milk and soy lethicin added, don't they?  Not all of them.  
Not this kind! It is soy and dairy free and they taste good (which is always a plus!)
So, then I just used the toll house recipe with a few substitutions:

Chocolate Chip Cookies - soy and dairy free

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mix the following in a bowl and set aside:

2 1/4 cups of whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt

Put these into a bowl and mix VERY well:

1 cup of solidified coconut oil (I put mine in a cool, dark closet that makes it soft enough to use, yet solid enough to do what I needed it to)
3/4 cup organic sugar
3/4 cup organic brown sugar
2 eggs

Add the dry ingredients slowly into the wet mixture.  When it is just incorporated, stir in your chocolate chips. 

Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet and bake for 9 to 11 minutes.

They are very, very good.

Bread Pudding

I wanted to make Bread Pudding for the kids. It was relatively easy to work out according to our new dietary guidelines. I had to fight for the picture! The grey looking spot in the middles is from where I was blocking the light. It was that wonderful brown color all the way through. Like I said, I had to basically beat the children out of the way to get to it!
I used homemade soy free, dairy free yeast rolls that did not turn out exactly right. They were really too heavy for eating as a bun or roll, but just right for this! I will be sharing this recipe as soon as I get the kinks worked out. :)




Bread Pudding

3 cups of soy free, dairy free bread chunks
1 cup of Almond Milk (I used vanilla flavored)
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons of coconut oil, melted

Mix milk, eggs, oil, and sugar until combined. Pour over bread chunks and stir together. Set aside while you make topping

Topping
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 heaping tablespoon of solified coconut oil (put in fridge for a bit)
1/2 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar

mix with fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over pudding mixture.

Bake at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top starts to brown and the pudding is set.

Serve warm!
