Dairy is the enemy to many of us and that usually means we don’t get to enjoy chocolate as much as we once did or ever. Luckily, there has been major strides in the foodie community that have found ways around the dairy aspect of chocolate desserts.

That workaround is called Aquafaba and is one of the best ingredients to help fight a dairy allergy. Using Aquafaba, you can enjoy these delicious, chocolate dairy free cupcakes without any issue.

Chocolate Dairy Free Cupcakes Ingredients

Even the idea of making dairy free recipes that involve chocolate seems a bit scary. But the ingredients are the key to making dairy free cupcakes, dairy free anything.

The goal is to find a substitute for the dairy ingredients and Aquafaba is that substitute. You’ll still use flour and sugar, the cocoa powder will give you the chocolate you crave and the other basics will be things like baking soda, vanilla extract.

To make these even better, you can add dairy-free chocolate chips like Enjoy Life semi-sweet mini chips.

Makes 24 cupcakes or one 13×9 inch cake

To make Aquafaba: 3 tablespoons unbeaten liquid from Garbanzo beans is equal to 1 egg. Drain liquid from a can of Garbanzo beans. I used a hand mixer and blended the bean juice needed for this recipe for about 4 to 5 minutes until the liquid became white and fluffy. The aquafaba cannot be overwhipped, so whip away.
