HEALTHY Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
I love all things desserts: cookies, cake, cheesecake, ice cream, brownies and more! As much as I try to eat healthy, I tend to be of the mindset that if I’m going to have a dessert, I don’t want it healthified, I want the real thing. That is why you don’t see a ton of healthified dessert recipes on my blog. However, this dessert is worthy of me eating it- even though it is healthified! These cupcakes took me 3 times to perfect, but they are officially perfected and I am in LOVE. Give them a try and let me know what you think!
Also, you may have noticed that these photos are way better then my normal professional iPhone photography (notice my sarcasm 
) Well, that is because I got to work with the amazing Jodee of Jodee Debes Photography a few weeks ago and she took some great photos of me and my food! So enjoy these photos because aside from one other future post it will be back to my regular photos.
Without the frosting they are vegan! And trust me they are super tasty BOTH ways!

This sounds delicious and I can’t wait to make it. But what is the full measurement for 1/3 Apple cider vinegar?
Hi Hun! Sorry about that, it is 1/3 cup. It has already been fixed on the recipe too! Thanks for pointing that out
can you substitute almond flour for oat flour?
I’m honestly not sure, since I’ve only made them with oat flour. It will definitely change the texture. If you give it a try let me know how it goes
These are amazing! I’m very happy to find a cupcake recipe that isn’t so sweet, so thank you very much. I had to leave mine in the oven for a few extra minutes since they came out a little doughy. I did alter two things with the frosting: I used 1/8c coconut sugar instead of Swerve and I added 1/3c PB2 for a little extra protein and happiness. I really look forward to trying more of your recipes!
I am sooooo glad to hear you loved it! And great additions! I hope you love all my other recipes just as much
