Calling all chocolate and Vanilla lovers! Do you love chocolate and vanilla in your cupcakes then why settle for one flavor? In this made-from-scratch cupcakes, chocolate and vanilla are swirled together in a simple one-batter to create the most light and fluffy eggless marble cupcakes. So soft that they’ll melt in your mouth!
By now, you can tell that I love making cupcakes. It’s a more natural way to keep a tab on your portion control. 😉 All the cupcake recipes on the blog are homemade, egg-free and delicious.
But today, I am preparing these cuties for Mother’s day which is just around the corner. I have some yummy sweets lined up for this special day, and the first sweet among my list is eggless chocolate-vanilla marble cupcakes.
So what makes these cupcakes so light and airy?
The secret ingredient is Flaxseed meal. Flaxseeds are loaded with good stuff. It’s a –
- Rich source of omega 3 essential fatty acids and fiber
- Rich in phosphorus and magnesium
- High in anti-oxidants
- Aids digestion
- Adds a nutritional punch to these cupcakes
- And an excellent substitute for eggs. ♥ ♥
How to Bake Eggless Marble Cupcakes?
To avoid confusion, I have arranged the ingredient list separately into two – white batter and chocolate batter. Start by making the white batter first. Due to flaxseeds, cupcake batter will have specks of flax in it. But don’t worry, the flavor is so good that you will hardly taste the flax seed meal in your cupcakes.
Prepare the Chocolate mixture and now add 3/4 cup of the white batter to this. Mix it well. Now spoon the two batters in cupcake liners and bake as directed.
Ways to create a marble pattern!
No fancy equipment or skills are required to swirl the batter in an intricate pattern. Just do either ONE of these tricks-
- Pour one spoon of white batter at the base followed by a spoon of chocolate batter. Keep repeating till the cupcake liners are 2/3 filled.
- Do a half and half – half of the white batter on one side and half of the chocolate batter on the other – shown below.
- Or just layer the batter in the liners spoon by spoon and then use a toothpick or knife to make a round swirl or a star on top.
Whatever method you choose, this recipe bakes into a deliciously soft, tender cupcakes.
