Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
9 ounces pumpkin puree
¾ cup soy milk
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon agave nectar
½ cup vegan chocolate chips
1 cup unsweetened coconut cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins or line cups with paper liners.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a large bowl. In a second bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, soy milk, oil, and agave nectar until evenly blended. Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in pumpkin mixture; stir just until batter is combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full. Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cream coconut cream, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar in a bowl until creamy. Refrigerate until use.
  • Remove cupcakes from the oven and cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Frost cooled cupcakes with coconut cream frosting and sprinkle with a thick layer of coconut flakes.
