Vegan Cranberry Mocha Muffins
This is one of my favourites..I love the heavenly combination of dark chocolate and rich aromatic coffee in a muffin. Each bite of this muffin is loaded with flavour, and the best thing is it is vegan, and doesn't have even a drop of oil !
Ingredients :
- Cake flour 1 Cup ( You can use either whole wheat flour, or all purpose flour; I used cornflour and All purpose flour in 1:4 ratio)
- Powdered sugar 1 cup
- Baking powder 1 tsp
- Cocoa powder 1/4 cup
- Coffee powder 2 tbsps
- Water 1 cup
- Dried Cranberries (or any other berry)
- Muffin liners 9
Method :
- In a bowl, mix together the cake flour, powdered sugar, baking powder and cocoa powder. Sift once or twice and set aside.
- Boil water and add the coffee powder to it. Let it brew for a while.
- Drain and pour the hot espresso over the dry ingredients.
- Toss in the dried cranberries and fold the batter to incorporate all the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven for 10 minutes
- Pour the batter into muffin liners and bake for 15-20 minutes at 175 degrees.
- Check if done by inserting a toothpick.
- Can be frosted with cashew or peanut butter.
Such a yummy, easy recipe! :)
Thanks Susmitha ! Such a honour to have your comment here !
Lovely! I love cranberries but I have never tried making anything using them.. I usually buy KDD harvest’s cranberry juice which I absolutely love.. I am definitely making this… any idea where I can buy dry cranberries?
Hi Diksha! Thanks :)
I have seen dried cranberry packets at M.K. Retail stores in Cmh road, Bangalore. You may also find them in all those world food shops like Natures Basket.
