Ingredients

Icing, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Lightly spray a 12-cavity heart shaped mini muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, arrowroot powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  • In a medium mxing bowl, whisk together the tahini, vanilla, and non-dairy milk.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until combined.
  • Mix in the chocolate chips.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, filling each cavity no more than half way.
  • Bake 23-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20-30 minutes** before removing from the pan.
  • Drizzle icing, if using, over the top of the cupcakes before serving.

Notes

*If you don't have a heart shaped mini muffin pan, a regular mini muffin pan will work just fine, you just obviously won't have heart shaped cupcakes. Alternately, a regular size muffin pan may be used. Fill each cavity about ¾ of the way full. Bake 25-28 minutes. You should get about 8 cupcakes.
**These cupcakes are soft, fluffy and delicate. Make sure you let them cool in the pan before removing them or you may have cupcake crumbles instead.
