Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes. 1 Bowl and less than 1 hour. And with just a few, basic ingredients needed, these cupcakes could not be easier to make. They’re so delicious you’d never be able to tell they’re vegan.
Can you even believe this?
That I’m making a vegan cupcake? Egg free. Dairy free. Or upgrade the flour and to make it gluten-free. Big flavor!
You sure know how much I enjoy baking. Like baking these dark chocolate cupcakes into mini cupcakes or sharing these light and fluffy strawberry french toast cupcakes.
Vanilla cupcakes may seem a little boring, and there are a million vanilla cupcake recipes out there, but I was on a mission to create a good recipe and a recipe that everyone loves, including my vegan friends. I’m not convinced that it even exists until I found this recipe.
The thing I enjoy about this recipe is so simple, you probably already have all of the ingredients in your pantry to make them, such as vanilla extract and powdered sugar. You don’t need to worry about getting your butter (or vegan butter), sour cream, coconut oil, or almond milk ready. And all you need is just one large bowl and paper liners for your cupcakes.
Do You Have A Go-To Cupcake Recipe?
Well, now you do!
Mix it up!
In case you are wondering, can I add blueberries to this batter like this Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes? Well YES, you can. Mix in half a cup of fresh blueberries into the batter and gently stir together into the mixture, so they don’t break; then proceed with the recipe as usual. The blueberry version is especially good topped with homemade lemon basil frosting.
This recipe may look a little complicated, but I assure you it only requires one bowl and less than 1 hour! Yep, this great recipe is a keeper.
