hump day treat

Course: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups oat flour
  • 1.5 cups raw sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • .75 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 tsp real vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp beet juice (this sounded disgusting to me and I could not bring myself to add this)

Hollyized Steps:

  • Oven set at 350 degrees
  • Put all dry ingredients into mixer bowl so you don’t have to transfer them later and make a larger mess in your kitchen.
  • Put all wet ingredients into a large mixing bowl and then whisk together.
  • Combine the wet ingredients into the mixer and mix away for about three minutes. (Make sure you use your flat beater instead of the whisk attachment.)
  • Line your cupcake pan with baking cups and spray with EVOO.
  • Use a 1/3 measuring cup (for large cupcakes) to scoop batter into cups and prevent making a huge mess. (A favorite tip.)
  • Place batter in the oven for 20 minutes and rotate pan at the 10 minute mark.
  • Let cool for 15 minutes before frosting with cream cheese icing.

Notes

*Note: these are yummy, moist and a healthy substitute for the real deal. If you are trying to eat healthier, these are great for you BUT I think I will stick to the actual red velvet recipe that just uses the organic version of raw ingredients.
