happy little green tea chocolate chip cupcakes

 i made these cupcakes for my friend who loves green tea! i used the green tea cupcake recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World . i so love this book! i added chocolate chips and drizzled the tops of the cupcakes with chocolate which technically made the cupcake unvegan. these cupcakes were really rich and had a strong green tea taste which i love but many people are not a fan of.  the green tea and chocolate combo was so yummy!

sweet and delicious
