Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.33 cup vegetable oil
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for a few minutes to curdle, creating vegan buttermilk.
Step 4
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the buttermilk mixture, whisking to combine.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter to ensure the cupcakes stay light and fluffy.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, frost with your favorite vegan vanilla frosting or enjoy plain.
