Ingredients
  

Cupcakes

  • 1 vegan chocolate cake mix
  • 1/2 cup applesauce Replace eggs in a regular chocolate cake mix with applesauce
  • 1 cup coffee Replace any water your cake mix calls for with coffee
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil Or however much oil your cake mix calls for

Oreo Filling

  • 12 Double Stuf Oreos Just the filling. Keep the cookies for the frosting.
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Oreo Frosting

  • 12 Double Stuf Oreos Just the cookies. Crushed into very fine crumbs
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free milk + some for texture I like coconut milk from a can

Instructions
 

For Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on your chocolate mix. Line a cupcake pan with liners.
  • Prepare your chocolate cake mix according to the instructions. I use 1/2 cup of applesauce to replace eggs and coffee to replace any water.
  • Fill your cupcake liners about 2/3 of the way full. Bake your cupcakes according to the instructions on your mix.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool completely before filling and frosting.

For Oreo Filling

  • Scrape the filling out of 12 Double Stuf Oreos. Keep the filling in one bowl and the cookies separate in another bowl.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together shortening, powdered sugar, Oreo filling and vanilla until smooth.
  • When cupcakes are completely cool, use your cupcake corer tool to remove a piece from the center of each cupcake. Carefully spoon some filling into each cupcake. I like to use a baby food spoon to make this easier, but you can also use a piping bag and pipe filling into your cupcakes.

For Oreo Frosting

  • Crush the Oreo cookies you set aside before into very fine crumbs. You can use a bullet blender or a food processor to make this easier.
  • Mix the vegetable shortening, powdered sugar, 1/4 cup dairy-free milk, vanilla and Oreo crumbs together until smooth.
  • If your frosting seems too thick, add more dairy-free milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Put your frosting in a piping bag with a plain, round tip and pipe on top of your filled cupcakes
