Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 Cups light brown sugar
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) baking soda
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 0.25 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 0.33 Cups whole milk
• 1 Whole egg
• 4 Teaspoons (tsp) extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.33 Cups prepared chocolate pudding, packaged
• 0.25 Cups semisweet chocolate chips, to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 mini muffin cups with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Break up any clumps lightly with a whisk.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, olive oil, and vanilla extract until well incorporated. Whisk this mixture into the flour mixture until smooth and free of clumps. Be careful not to overmix.
4. Fold in the prepared chocolate pudding with a spatula, ensuring to scrape the bottom of the bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips if using. The batter will be runny.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake cups, filling each 2/3 full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
7. Allow to cool before serving. Enjoy your mini chocolate cupcakes!
