🍽️ Healthy Chocolate Cupcake Recipe

📚 Ingredients:

🥚 2 eggs (rich in protein)
🍫 2 tablespoons cocoa 100% (antioxidant and sugar free)
🌾 3 tablespoons of oatmeal (source of fiber)
🍬 2 tablespoons of demerara sugar (healthier than refined)
🥛 4 tablespoons of milk or natural yogurt (helps with texture)

⌛ Preparation Method:

🥣 Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, add the oatmeal, cocoa and demerara sugar.
🥄 Incorporate the liquids: Add the eggs and milk (or yogurt), mixing well until you obtain a homogeneous dough.
🎂 Add the yeast and stir gently to maintain the lightness of the dough.

- Oven: Preheat to 180°C and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Airfryer: 160°C for 10 to 15 minutes.
