Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅔ cup soy creamer (I used Silk)
- 2 tablespoon vegan chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (use agave or corn syrup as a substitute)
- ⅓ cup whiskey (use your favorite)
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside.
- Make the Irish cream by putting the soy creamer in a microwave safe bowl and heat until boiling.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until they are completely dissolved, along with the maple syrup, whiskey, coffee granules and vanilla.
- In a bowl, beat together the canola oil and sugar. Add the Irish Cream.
- Now add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix well with a whisk just until you have a smooth batter. Do not overmix or overbeat.
- Divide the batter equally among 12 cups of a standard-sized muffin pan lined with cupcake liners.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven about 26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
