How to Make Chocolate Super Flax Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, flaxseed meal, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the milk and melted chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  6. Fill the cupcake liners about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting (optional).
