    Halloween Owl Cupcakes

    It’s October, so it’s not only pumpkin season, but also Halloween season! So say hello to these cuties aka. Halloween owl cupcakes. Aren’t they just super adorable?! Plus, they’re vegan, incredibly chocolatey, and pretty easy to make! 

    Halloween Owl Cupcakes

    It might sound weird, but I actually feel kinda bad about eating them. Haha! I mean they look so cute you just don’t wanna ruin them. Even as a kid I wouldn’t eat my chocolate Easter bunnies but keep them for months until someone of my family finally asked if they could eat them. Or even worse, they’d just go bad in one of my cupboards…

    We had so much fun decorating these owl cupcakes. We don’t have kids yet, but I’m sure they’d love making them too. I’d sure gone crazy about these when I was a kid! I mean who doesn’t love cute-looking owls, right?! They’re also great for kids birthday parties, school events, or cake sales.

    Halloween Owl Cupcakes

    So all you need to make these vegan owl cupcakes are some chocolate muffins or cupcakes, Oreos, skittles, and a little bit of creativity. You can also use other yellow and orange candies, such as M&Ms, but skittles were the only vegan ones I could think of. I think it could also work with food coloring, but I haven’t tried this yet.

    Start by coating the chocolate muffins or cupcakes with melted dark chocolate. Then carefully separate the Oreos with a knife and press the halves with the filling onto the melted chocolate to make the eyes. Use yellow skittles for the eyeballs. Again be careful not to break the Oreos. Then make a little hole between the eyes with a knife and add an orange candy nose in the middle.  Then cut ears out of the leftover Oreo halves and tuck them into the top of each chocolate muffin behind the eyes. Put the first one on the melted chocolate and the second one on top of the first one. Use some more melted chocolate to glue them together. That’s it!

    Halloween Owl Cupcakes

    I know these Halloween owl cupcakes don’t like very scary like so many other Halloween treats. I love them as cute owls, but if you want them to look scarier, you could also use green or red skittles instead of yellow ones. This way you get evil Halloween owls. Haha!

    So either way, I hope you like these vegan Halloween treats. Also check out these 10 spooky and cute vegan Halloween treats or these 17 delicious vegan Halloween recipes!

    Ingredients

    For the vegan chocolate cupcakes:

    • 1 1/2 cups flour
    • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
    • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
    • 3 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1 cup almond milk

    For the owl decoration:

    • 3.5 oz dark chocolate
    • 24 oreo cookies (make sure you have some spare cookies because they break easily)
    • 24 yellow skittles
    • 12 orange skittles

    Instructions

    • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Place baking cups in a muffin pan and divide the mixture evenly.
    • Bake for about 15 minutes at 360°F (180°C). In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate. You can either do this in a microwave or in a small sauce pot over the stove.
    • Coat the chocolate muffins or cupcakes with melted dark chocolate. Then carefully separate the Oreos with a knife and press the halves with the filling onto the melted chocolate to make the eyes. Use yellow skittles for the eyeballs. Again be careful not to break the Oreos. Then make a little hole between the eyes with a knife and add an orange candy nose in the middle. Then cut ears out of the leftover Oreo halves and tuck them into the top of each chocolate cupcake or muffin behind the eyes. Put the first one on the melted chocolate and the second one on top of the first one. Use some more melted chocolate to glue them together.
