Congratulations, you’ve found it! Here is a delicious, quick and easy chocolate cupcake recipe that you can whip up at a moments notice. They are also wonderful to make with kids. These cupcakes are diary and egg free, so perfect for children who suffer from food allergies (or have friends that do) and are moist and delicious. 

Easy to bake with kids chocolate cupcakesOur dear Possum (aged 3 years) has a severe egg allergy, you’ve all heard the story in this post before. Unfortunately she hasn’t shown any signs to be growing out of it any time soon, so we continue to find fabulous egg free recipes like this quick and easy chocolate cupcake recipe. 

Now before your eyes glaze over because it’s dairy and egg free, I need you to trust me, these are seriously delicious! I’m not kidding. Give them a go and get your children involved in the cooking process. You will be storing this recipe away to make time and time again, especially when catering for kids.

  • Build language vocabulary (stir, mix, pour etc)
  • Importance of following step by step instructions
  • Counting and one to one correspondence 
  • Patience
  • Hygiene

    Thanks for this Kate. So good to have a tested recipe that I know will be good if I need to whip up some egg and dairy free treats. Especially good for taking in for classmates I can imagine. Pinning to remember! Also, just quickly, is it 1/3 of a cup of canola oil? (I’m presuming it is and not 1/3 of a tblsp or tsp, haha)
