Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini cupcake pan with paper liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the plain yogurt. Mix until just combined.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake pan, filling each liner about 2/3 full.
-
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
-
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
-
Dip the tops of the cooled cupcakes into the melted dark chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
-
Drizzle the powdered sugar glaze over the chocolate-coated cupcakes.
-
Decorate with sprinkles.
-
Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before serving.
