How to Make Cinnamon Brownie Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ¾ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup unsweetened applesauce until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
