Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes

I love, love, love to keep sweets around the house and I like things that are simple enough that my little one can be right there helping me with and can lick the bowl clean after! And these ones are a huge hit in my house! (Even with my husband who tries to argue with eating everything dairy free that I give him!)

Here's a simple, delicious recipe for vanilla cupcakes!

What you will need:

1 Cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
Just a pinch of salt
1/2 Cup of sugar
1/4 Cup of oil (I used Canola oil)
3/4 Cup of non-dairy milk (I try not to use recipes that call for non-dairy milks but this one's hard to get around without it, also I used a plain soy milk)
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla (I use a little more in mine but it's up to your discretion)
1/2 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar (You could probably use distilled white but apple cider is better for sweets)
Bowl for mixing
Fork, whisk, electric mixer, just something for mixing
Cupcake pan
Optional: Cupcake liners
Optional: Frosting (You can make your own or some store bought one's are dairy free, I use Pillsbury Creamy Supreme Chocolate)
(This recipe makes about 10 cupcakes)


Directions:
Preheat oven to 365 degrees F

Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar until blended

Add the rest of the ingredients and blend well until there are no lumps

Grease your pan if you aren't using liners

Spoon or scoop your mix into the cupcake pan (fill them about 1/2 to 2/3 full)

Optional but fun: Let the little one lick the bowl! They'll love it (at least mine did!)

Put them in the oven for 20 minutes

To test if they are done, put a toothpick in and if it comes out dry they are done, or lightly touch the tops and if they seem to bounce back they are done

Let them cool for a few hours before frosting

Enjoy!
