Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and eggs with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until pale and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Mix in the vanilla extract, almond milk, applesauce, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Step 5
Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Step 6
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, frost with your favorite dairy-free frosting or enjoy plain.
