Chocolate Dulce de Leche Cupcakes

For the cupcakes :

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Put 6 paper liners into a cupcake pan. Set aside.

Into your mixing bowl add the butter, flour, baking powder, cocoa, sugar and salt. Mix with the paddle attachment until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

In a small bowl mix the chia seeds with the water and let it sit for a few minutes. Shortly, it will become a gel. Add the gel to the dry ingredients and mix. Slowly add the milk.

Spoon the batter into the prepared baking cups. Bake for about 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Dulce de Leche Frosting

Put the butter, sugar and dulce de leche into a mixing bowl. With the paddle attachment, mix them on low speed until incorporated. Increase the speed and mix for further 2-3 minutes. Add few drops of milk if needed until you reach your desired frosting consistency.

Frost the cupcakes when completely cooled!
