Just like the name, this cupcake recipe will have everyone saying OMG! These chocolate cupcakes are from my new cookbook SIMPLE HEALTHY RECIPES and are gluten-free, antioxidant-rich and totally delicious!

They are the perfect healthy alternative to store bought cupcake mixes and only require minimal pantry staple ingredients.
