- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil or butter (see Hints)
- 3 tbsp Milk or orange juice
- 100 grams Pancake mix
- 1 tbsp No-sugar added cocoa powder
- 1 add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon milk Or use more no-sugar cocoa powder for a more bitter flavor
- 4 tbsp of powder, omit the sugar, add 1 tablespoon milk Or if using sugar-added cocoa powder
- Get the ingredients and equipment ready.
- We'll be using a ziplock bag (medium size).
- Open it up inside a stable container such as a bowl.
- Combine the cocoa powder and pancake mix.
- I used 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder in this photo.
- Start preheating the oven to 170C.
- Add the egg and sugar to the bag, and mix with a small whisk if you have one (or use a fork).
- Add the oil and mix it in too.
- Add the combined pancake mix and cocoa powder plus the milk and mix.
- When the batter is more or less mixed, close the bag and mix it well in the bag.
- Place the aluminum cups on an oven tray.
- Gather the batter into one corner of the bag.
- Squeeze the batter out neatly.
- Fill the cups about halfway full to start, and add more to the cups that have less batter later.
- Make sure each cup has about the same amount of batter.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven for about 15 minutes.
- If a toothpick poked into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean, they are done.
- If the toothpick is still covered with batter, add 5 minutes of baking time.
- Take the cupcakes off the oven tray to cool.
- Done!
- These are the only things you have to wash up.
- If baking the cupcakes in a toaster oven: Use aluminum cups.
- Line the rack with foil and set the timer on your toaster oven to 10 minutes.
- Start checking how much it's browning on top after 2 minutes.
- It's hard to tell from the photo, but the baking will be very uneven.
- Turn the cups around, and cover any that are browning too fast with aluminum foil.
- Keep observing the cakes and cover any others that get browned with foil too.
- In our toaster oven, it took 10 minutes at 860 W, including the time it took to move the cups around.
- I thought that it was surprisingly hard work to bake the cupcakes in a toaster oven.
- The recipe is easy, but you need to watch them constantly as they're baking.
- I also made mushipan (steamed bread).
- Don't use aluminum cups if you're microwaving them.
- 1 cup took about 50 seconds at 500w.
- Poke with a toothpick to test for doneness.
- If you want to steam them all at once, place them in a frying pan with about 1-1.5 cm of boiling water, cover with a lid and boil for 10 steam.
- These here contain orange juice and apples.
- is for easy 4-ingredient chocolate scones made with pancake mix.
