Ingredients
Vegan Cinnamon Sugar Cupcakes
- 1 ¼ cup unsweetened almond or oat milk
- 1 cup sugar or ⅓ cup purecane sugar-free substitute
- ¼ cup melted vegan butter
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour If gluten-free, I recommend King Arthur Measure for Measure gluten-free flour. Please don't substitute any other flour such as almond flour, baking flour, etc.
- optional coconut oil spray or non-stick spray
Cinnamon Sugar
- 4 tablespoon cane sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Vegan Cinnamon Sugar Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Mix the almond milk, sugar or purecane, melted vegan butter, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla together. Then, mix in the flour until smooth - be careful not to over mix.
- Spoon the batter into 16 lined muffin cups and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until the cupcakes are lightly golden on top. Option to not line your muffin cups and instead spray them with non stick spray. Pouring the batter directly into the muffin mold. This will allow you to toss the entire cupcake into the cinnamon sugar mixture and not just the tops.
- While the cupcakes are baking, mix the sugar and cinnamon together to make the cinnamon sugar topping.
- Once the cupcakes are done baking, dip the tops of each cupcake into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Or, if you baked your cupcakes without liners, toss the entire cupcake into the cinnamon sugar so the whole thing is coated. If your cinnamon sugar isn't sticking - you can lightly spray the cupcakes with a little coconut oil spray before tossing in the sugar. Enjoy!

Sounds delicious! I'd recommend trying my vegan cream cheese frosting and then adding a little cinnamon to it!

Could I substitute the 1/4 cup vegan butter for vegetable oil, extra virgin olive oil or olive oil?
