Hi,

I would love to make these for my daughter’s birthday but she cannot have gluten, so wheat flour is out of the question and as well she cannot have spelt flour or barley flour. What kind of flour can I use?? HELP!!

Hi Carole, I do not bake gluten free so I have very limited knowledge about this. I think I have seen some gluten free flour mix in a bulk store or somewhere. Have you tried that before? I googled and found something. See if it is of any use.

Hello!
I can’t tell you how wonderful, tasty, damn good looking my cupcakes came out. Till date I could only bake a cheesecake, this was my very first time baking something else. Thank you so much!

You’re welcome Renu. I am so happy for you that your baking experiment has turned out great.

Hi Madhu
I am new to this site and really enjoy it. I was looking for eggless and vegan recipes as we are fasting here before Easter (in Greece). I have not seen flax seed powder here. Would you recommend I used tofu and if so how much ?
Your recipes look fantastic and definetely healthy,
Thank you and keep up the good work.
Katy

Hi Katy, sorry I couldn’t get back to you immediately. Reg. tofu, it is a good substitute but I’m not sure how it would work in this particular recipe because it’s already dense with the applesauce. If using silken tofu you would have to use 1/2 cup of blended tofu in place of two eggs. I’m guessing the cupcake would be very moist and heavy. You could also try 4 tablespoons of plain yogurt whisked with 4 tablespoons of water instead.

Hello
Can this be baked in a round 9 inch baking pan?
Thank you for all wonderful eggless,vegan and healthy, tasty recipes.

You can bake it in a 9 inch cake pan, but it’s going to take some time to cool before you can cut it. Also the baking time will be around 35-40 minutes.

Hi Madhu! I am going to bake 3 dozen of this for an MLK bake sale this Saturday! However, my son’s allergic to apples, and I have to avoid applecause. WHat do you recommend I replace applesauce with, in this recipe? Other fruits to avoid (because they’re in the same family) are: peach, plum, pear, prune, apricot, nectarine. –Deepa

How about dates soaked in hot water and then ground into a smooth paste? Even bananas should be fine, if you like the chocolate/banana combination. You can also go with beet puree. Check out Jugalbandi’s vegan beet and chocolate cake posted last week.

Thank you for celebrating with me.
I love chocolate brownies and do bake them in cupcake liners too, when I need to pack them.
Applesauce is a good substitute for fat, especially on cakes.

Madhu, I cannot find in your step-by step where you add the chocolate chips.

Oops, I missed it. Thanks for notifying me. You can add it with the flour/dry ingredients. Will update it in the recipe.
