Yield:

16 mini cupcakes

Ingredients

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup light brown sugar

¼ cup white sugar

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

⅓ cup whole milk

1 egg

4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

⅓ cup prepared chocolate pudding (such as Jell-O®)

¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips (such as Nestle® Toll House®), or to taste (Optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 mini muffin cups with paper liners.

Step 2

Mix flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Break up clumps lightly with a whisk.

Step 3

Mix milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until well incorporated. Whisk into the flour mixture until well incorporated and there are no clumps. Do not overmix the batter. Fold in pudding with a spatula while scraping the bottom of the bowl. Stir in chocolate chips; batter will be runny and not very thick.

Step 4

Pour batter into the prepared cupcake cups with a Wilton® cookie scoop or measuring cup with a spout, filling each 2/3 full.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 10 minutes.
