Coffee Cake Cupcakes

Jillian Glenn
These vegan coffee cake cupcakes are heavenly! They are soft, fluffy, and so moist that no one will guess they're vegan! The filling is made of cinnamon and brown sugar, the batter is sweetened with maple syrup, and the streusel topping is out of this world! This is a delicious vegan dessert that is going to impress everyone!

How To Make Coffee Cake Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Line 12-14 cupcake molds with paper liners.
  • In a small mixing bowl, prepare the streusel topping by adding the melted vegan butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon together and mixing until a crumble forms. Set aside.
  • Mix the almond milk, melted vegan butter, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the flour and mix until combined. Don't over-mix.
  • Transfer about 2-3 tablespoon of the batter into about 12 lined cupcake molds. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoon of brown sugar and ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon into each mold. Then, evening add the remaining batter to each mold. Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over each of the cupcakes.
  • Bake them in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and enjoy warm. You may also allow them to cool before serving!
