Vegan Brownie Cupcakes
These vegan brownie cupcakes are rich, fudgy, and taste exactly like a brownie in cupcake form. Made with cocoa powder, brown sugar, mashed banana, and coconut oil, they have a dense, moist crumb that is deeply chocolatey and satisfying. No eggs, no dairy. The banana adds natural sweetness and keeps them wonderfully moist for days. A proper chocolate fix in a neat little package.

Notes
Video timing: For a cake-like texture, bake at 350°F (180°C) for 17–18 minutes. For a fudgier texture, the video gives 15–16 minutes. The card uses 18 minutes.
The total uses the existing preparation estimate plus the cooking and any separately listed preheat time. Allow additional cooling time and extra batches where applicable.
