Original recipe found at edibleSanFrancisco. I just love these. I would eat them often if I wasn’t trying to watch my carb intake. So, a couple times a year I splurge.
1 cup broccoli, chopped fine 1 cup cauliflower, chopped fine 1/4 cup green onion, chopped 1 cup milk 1 egg 3/4 cup grated cheese 1 cup flour 1/2 tsp. baking soda 3/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper Dash of cayenne pepper
In a bowl, stir together the first 6 ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. Stir the dry ingredients into the vegetable mixture and mix until just combined. Dollop onto a medium-hot griddle (I use a 1/3 cup measurer) and cook through. Remember that you are wanting the vegetables to cook, that’s why they are chopped fine, and each batch will take awhile to cook. When the tops seem a little dry or bubbles are forming and bursting on the top, it’s time to flip them over. Too much heat will make them look nice on the outside, but once you cut into them they will be gooey and the veges will still be hard and you do not want that. Remove from griddle and keep warm in 200 degree oven until ready to serve. I make fried eggs and sausage to serve with these beauties.
I have made these using all broccoli, instead of the broccoli-cauliflower mix and that works too, equally delicious! I use a knife to chop the vegetables, but I think you could use a food processor, like making cauliflower rice, and it would be faster.
This is a mishmash of several recipes. I am serving a family member with a wheat allergy, so gluten-free flour has solved that. I make sure to read the flour ingredients so there is no part of wheat in it. It starts with agirldefloured‘s adaptation of Hershey’s chocolate cake. I’ve made this twice now and they are really rich cupcakes.
2 cups sugar 1-3/4 cups gluten-free flour (I used Namaste Perfect Flour Blend) 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 3 eggs, slightly beaten 1 cup milk 1/2 cup canola oil 2 tsp. vanilla 1 cup hot coffee
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 30 cupcake pans with paper liners.
Whisk the dry ingredients together well. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Whisk in the hot coffee. The batter will be runny. Evenly distribute into cupcake pans and bake until the centers bounce back when tested with finger, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
The next step is to make the mocha filling. That recipe is from myrecipes.
5 Tbsp. gluten-free flour (I used Namaste Perfect Flour Blend) 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder 2 Tbsp. instant coffee granules 1 cup half-and-half 1 cup butter, softened 1 cup powdered sugar 1 tsp. vanilla
In a small saucepan whisk together the GF flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee and half-and-half. Over medium heat continue whisking for about 5 minutes until it is thick. Remove from heat and pour into a dish. Cover with plastic wrap, push it onto the surface so a skin does not form. Let stand for 30 minutes or until cool. I did not chill this and in retrospect I do not think it would work well if you did chill it. Stick with the directions.
Beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add cooled mocha mixture, one tablespoon at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Add vanilla and beat mixture until it’s the consistency of whipped cream.
And the final piece is the coffee liqueur ganache found at myrecipes.
12-oz. bittersweet chocolate baking chips 1-1/4 cups whipping cream 1 Tbsp. butter 2 Tbsp. coffee liqueur (Kahlua)
Place chocolate in bowl. Heat whipping cream just to boiling and pour over chocolate. Stir until smooth. Stir in butter and liqueur. Let stand until spreading consistency. It took longer than 45 minutes, keep testing this.
Assembly: Remove centers from the cooled cupcakes. I used a teaspoon to dollop mocha filling into the centers. I let the cupcakes then sit for a few minutes before using a tablespoon to pour the ganache over each cupcake. It firmed up fairly quickly then.
REALLY, REALLY YUMMY!
