Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Granulated monk fruit sweetener
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cups Sugar-free dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups Coconut cream

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 mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set it aside for 5 minutes to curdle and create vegan buttermilk.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegan buttermilk, vanilla extract, unsweetened applesauce, granulated monk fruit sweetener, and melted coconut oil until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix, as this may affect the texture of the cupcakes.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate drizzle. In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the sugar-free dark chocolate chips and coconut cream in 20-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

Step 10

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the tops using a spoon or piping bag. Let the drizzle set at room temperature for a few minutes.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Gluten Free Sugar Free Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate!
