Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk (or regular milk)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup applesauce (or 2 eggs for non-vegan)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), for wings
- Candy eyes or melted white chocolate for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix milk, oil, vanilla, and applesauce. Add wet to dry and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Bake: Fill muffin liners 3/4 full and bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Create bats: Cut cookies in half to form wings. Use frosting or melted chocolate to attach wings and candy eyes to each muffin.
- Serve: Display on a Halloween platter or spooky tray and enjoy your edible bat friends!
Notes
Use gluten-free flour if needed. Let kids decorate their own bats for a fun Halloween activity. For extra chocolate flavor, frost with chocolate ganache before adding wings and eyes.
