Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting or serving.
Decorate the cooled cupcakes with your favorite vegan frosting, sprinkles, or toppings of choice. Enjoy!
