Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the coconut sugar, almond milk, olive oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. If using flax eggs, prepare them in advance by mixing 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of water and letting it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Add the eggs (or flax eggs) to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be smooth but slightly thick.
Divide the batter evenly among the lined muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
Bake the cupcake muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve plain or top with your favorite gluten-free and dairy-free frosting. Enjoy!
