Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas (mashed)
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Plant-based milk (unsweetened, such as almond or oat)
• 0.25 cups Neutral vegetable oil (such as canola or sunflower oil)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar, plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture using a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be slightly lumpy, and that's okay.

Step 6

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 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 allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, frost with your favorite vegan frosting or enjoy them plain!
