Gluten-Free Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes
These cupcakes start with mixing the wet ingredients. Almond milk replaces dairy milk, applesauce replaces eggs, and avocado oil locks in the moisture. Maple syrup adds sweetness, and we included a generous amount of vanilla extract for BIG vanilla flavor. Next, the dry ingredients are added to the same bowl, minimizing the mess! A mix of gluten-free flours is key to creating the perfect cupcake texture. Almond flour smells just like cake and provides a crumb texture. Potato starch makes them light and fluffy. And cornstarch adds structure. For leavening, we included baking powder, and for more flavor, we added sea salt. After baking and cooling, they’re ready to eat! They’re delicious on their own or topped with your favorite frosting, like our Classic Buttercream Frosting, Vegan Chocolate Ganache Frosting, Date-Sweetened Chocolate Frosting, or Coconut Whipped Cream. We hope you LOVE these cupcakes! They’re:FluffyVanilla-infusedPerfectly sweetEasySo delicious& Just like the real thing!
