Delicious Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes Recipe for Everyone

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vegan frosting
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tbsp vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Sift the flour for a lighter texture.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the applesauce, almond milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and vinegar.

    Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fill Cupcake Liners

    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

    Use an ice cream scoop for uniform portions.
  6. Bake the Cupcakes

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Avoid opening the oven door during baking.
  7. Cool and Frost

    Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

    Frost only when fully cooled to avoid melting.
