Ingredients
Cupcakes:
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter 4 Tbsp, room temperature
- ½ cup real maple syrup
- 3 large egg whites room temperature
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup oat milk*
- ¼ cup vanilla Greek yogurt*
Frosting:
- 1 batch of healthy vanilla buttercream frosting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cupcake tin with liners.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk and set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add butter to large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Beat butter for 30 - 60 seconds with an electric hand mixer or paddle attachment. Beat in maple syrup, egg whites, and vanilla on high for 1 - 2 minutes. Butter may look piecey or separate (totally fine).
- Make Batter: Add dry ingredients in two increments, beating on medium until combined after each time. Batter will look sticky. Then add oat milk and beat on medium until combined (30 seconds or so). Fold in ¼ cup vanilla greek yogurt with rubber spatula.
- Bake: Fill each cup with batter until about ⅔ full. Bake 15 - 20 minutes - checking at 12 minutes to be safe or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Make Frosting: Meanwhile, make 1 batch of healthy vanulla buttercream frosting.
- Decorate: Cool on wire rack and frost with healthy homemade vanilla buttercream and sprinkles!
Notes
- Oat Milk: You can use whole or 2% cow's milk, almond milk, or cashew milk.
- Greek yogurt: I highly recommend vanilla Greek yogurt - I used Chobani. You can also use plain if needed.
- Cupcakes MUST be completely cooled to frost. If not, the frosting will melt off.
