Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
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.
Mix in the vanilla extract, almond milk, applesauce, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
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.
Once cooled, frost with your favorite dairy-free frosting or enjoy plain.
