Hello, vegan baking! Oreo Muffins!

I love baking. And vegan baking is even more exciting and fun, as it is quite challenging when you need to remove eggs and milk!

Another week we had a charity bake off at work and I thought I will improvise a little bit. Have a look at this adorable recipe for super pretty and tasty Oreo muffins 😇  By the way, everyone who tried them said that muffins were super tasty!

For 18 muffins you will need:

• 500ml of Coconut Milk
• 200 g of Sugar
• 80ml Olive Oil
• 3 tbsp of Lemon Juice
• 2 tsp of Vanilla Extract
• 300g of Self Rising Flour
• 6 tbsp of Cocoa Powder
• 1.5 tsp of Baking Soda
• 1 tsp of Salt
• 2 packs of Oreo Cookies
• Dark Chocolate
• 1 batch of Vegan Vanilla Butter Cream (for frosting)
• 4 tbsp of Cocoa Powder (for Frosting)
• mini Oreos

The recipe

First of all, preheat your oven to 200C and prepare muffin baking tray(s).

Mix flour, sugar, salt and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Then gradually add coconut milk and olive oil, make sure there are no lumps. Put baking soda in a small cup, pour lemon juice over it and mix it quickly. Add the mixture and vanilla extract to a dough and stir it well. Roughly chop Oreo cookies and mix them in as well.

Pour the mixture into muffin trays and pop into the oven for about 25-30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare your frosting and chocolate glazing. All you need to do is add some cocoa powder and a drop of coconut milk into vanilla butter cream and mix very well. I found out that you can get vanilla butter cream that is suitable for vegans in Poundland, and it literally tastes the same as expensive ones for vegans :) 

You can melt your chocolate in a microwave, just be careful and do it in very small intervals. Add some coconut milk if needed. By the time you have your frosting + glazing ready and your kitchen cleaned, muffins should be done. Now let them to cool down completely as only then you can start your decorating process (which we all know is the best bit).

Feel free to improvise with decorations, but I will tell you the way I did it. First of all, I put buttercream on each muffin and then pop few mini Oreos on top. Then I sprinkled some brown sugar and poured melted chocolate on top.

And here you go - your lovely muffins are ready to be consumed! 

Few words from me

I hope you guys are going to enjoy this recipe, as everyone who tried definitely did.

I will try to do more baking from now on, as this was the most fun thing ever and muffins turned out to be a huge success 😇

Have a lovely start of the week, and sweeten it up with some adorable muffins!

See you soon!

With lots of love,
