Ingredients
OUTPOST Coffee Muffins
2 1/3 cups gluten-free flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups organic coconut sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups hot strongly brewed OUTPOST Timber Town coffee
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup neutral vegetable oil of your preference
1 tablespoon of caramel extract
50g dark chocolate
(OPTIONAL) Vegan Caramel Sauce
3/4 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup coconut cream
3 tablespoons coconut oil
60g pecan nuts (crushed)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350F (280c) Line a cupcake pan with paper liners, or grease well.
Mix flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
Mix OUTPOST Timber Town coffee, apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, caramel extract in a measuring cup.
Pour over dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk to incorporate.
Distribute batter evenly between the 12 cupcake tins.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Vegan Caramel Sauce
Place sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat, add a table spoon of cold water.
Stir sugar continuously until it all melts. Stir 1-2 minutes. Once all dissolved - remove pan from the heat and immediately pour coconut oil and coconut cream in the pan.
The sugar might crystalize at this stage (don’t worry!) Return mixture to the heat, keep stirring and cooking mixture for a further 1-2 minutes. Never stop stirring. At this stage, you can add a pinch of sea salt flakes if you would like to make salted caramel. Wait until caramel sauce has fully cooled prior to glazing the muffins* Oh & you can add some crushed pecans (or any other nuts you prefer) for an extra bit of crunch!
