One Sweet Slice shows us how to turn the Easter favorite into a sweet cupcake!

Chocolate Cupcakes

1/2 cup extra dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups brownie mix
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup chocolate pudding mix
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon baking powder

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
Place the chocolate and water in a bowl. Let sit for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate mixture until smooth. Add the applesauce, sour cream, oil, vanilla and eggs. Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the brownie mix, flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, pudding mix, pepper, cinnamon, baking powder and salt to the chocolate mixture. Mix until combined. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup three-quarters full. Bake until done, 21 to 23 minutes. Once cool, hollow out the middle to make room for filling.
