Ingredients
- ½ cup almond milk at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup cane sugar
- ¼ cup butter softened, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- ¼ cup applesauce at room temperature
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ⅓ cups whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Cream Cheese frosting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper or silicone liners.
- Whisk almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a medium bowl and let curdle for 5-10 minutes. Set aside.
- Add sugar and butter to a large mixing bowl and whip with a hand mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer.
- Add eggs, applesauce and vanilla extract and whisk until combined on low medium speed.
- Slowly add almond milk mixture while mixing on low.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix until just combined and batter is smooth.
- Pour batter evenly between 12 muffin tins. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean and edges are slightly golden brown.
- Let cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes or so, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost, top with sprinkles and serve.
Notes
- Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free 1:1 all-purpose flour
- Butter: You can use ¼ cup avocado oil instead of butter. Just beat the eggs and sugar together and then add the oil and remaining wet ingredients.
- Looking to make these cupcakes gluten-free? I have tested these cupcakes with Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free 1:1 all-purpose flour, and they turned out, but were a little more dense.
