Best One Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe

Best One Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe


I needed a quick cupcake recipe to make for Kid #2 to take to preschool. These one bowl cupcakes are so chocolate-y, moist, and fast to fix!

Paired with vanilla buttercream frosting, these are oh so memorable. I love that they make a big batch, too. It’s great to find a cupcake recipe that makes 24 cupcakes without having to double it.

This adapted recipe from PBS’ Kitchen Explorers was perfection! Because Kid #2 loves the Pinkalicious books, we put pink sparkly sprinkles over the tops. Kids at preschool asked if they could have more. I was so glad to hear that. I don’t normally test out new recipes without trying them first myself but I was in a pinch and these seemed like the solution. Yes, these chocolate cupcakes are a keeper!
