Ingredients

For the Batter

  • 1 tbsp flaxseeds ground
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • cup canola oil
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp distilled vinegar
  • 12 Oreo cookies

For the Frosting

  • 5 tbsp vegan butter
  • 3.5 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp soy milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Make your own egg replacement by mixing ground flaxseeds with 3 tbsp warm water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) and line a cupcake tray with liners. Place a whole oreo cookie into each liner.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients for the batter: flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt and baking powder.
  • Add canola oil, soy milk, vanilla, vinegar and flax egg and mix with a spoon until well combined. Don’t overmix!
  • Divide your batter evenly between the cupcake liners on top of the Oreo cookie. Place in the oven and bake for 22 minutes.
  • Once the cupcakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the frosting by creaming the butter with a handheld electric mixer in a large bowl.
  • Beat until smooth and fluffy, then gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Mix until just combined, then add soy milk and vanilla extract.
  • Keep mixing until everything is well combined, adding more milk if needed.
  • Pipe the chocolate frosting onto the cool cupcakes. Crush 3 Oreo cookies and sprinkle frosting with crumbs for a nice finish!
