How to cook deliciously - Easy Cheesecake-Filled Cupcakes (Vegan)

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.

2 . Stage

Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt for cupcakes together in a bowl. Add water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla and beat until combined; be careful not to overmix.

3 . Stage

Beat vegan cream cheese and sugar for filling together in a separate bowl until smooth. Add vegan yogurt, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt and beat until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Fill each prepared muffin cup 2/3 full with chocolate batter. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top of the chocolate batter. Sprinkle the remaining sugar on top.
