Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with 12 cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine the vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, and water. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Evenly distribute the batter among the 12 cupcake liners, 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.
Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost the cupcakes with your favorite vegan frosting or serve them as they are.
