Healthy Gooey Double Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes made with all vegan and paleo ingredients for an easy homemade cupcake recipe filled with dark chocolate!

This recipe has me wondering why I haven’t been baking my own homemade cupcakes for forever.

And did I mention how rich and chocolate-y these cupcakes are? You don’t even taste the pumpkin. It is really there for consistency and the texture it adds to the cupcakes. If you’re craving something a bit more “fall” and pumpkin spice, feel free to add in your favorite pumpkin spice blend to the batter.

Let’s chat a bit more about these easy homemade cupcakes..

These cupcakes though. They’re paleo, vegan and free of any refined sugar. Now it isn’t too common in the baking world to have a recipe that is both vegan and paleo and actually tastes good. But from my past experience, the cupcakes have been dry or the texture was off.

Today that is not the case! These cupcakes are going to prove to us that paleo and vegan baked goods can taste flipping GOOD.

I love that this recipe is made with all simple and easy ingredients. Many of the usual suspects around here like flax egg, liquid coconut oil, almond flour and my beloved, Hu Kitchen Dark Chocolate.

Baking with Hu’s chocolate has taken my baking up a few notches. They create the most epic flavored dark chocolate bars like Cashew Butter & Vanilla Bean, Hazelnut Butter and more. I use some of their dark chocolate and melt it to add into the batter. 

Now don’t forget to share these with me on Instagram if you make them! And if you’re craving some more Hu goodness, check out these recipes: Paleo Chocolate Sheet Cake and Paleo Brownie Bread.
