Instructions
Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350. Line 12 cupcake molds with paper liners and then spray them with non-stick baking spray.
In a mixing bowl, mix the almond milk, sugar, vegan butter, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla. Then, mix in the flour just until combined. Don't over-mix! Pour the batter into 12-14 lined cupcake molds and bake for 25-30 minutes.
While the cupcakes are baking, use a whisk or electric hand mixer to mix the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla. Allow the cupcakes to cool before frosting. Top with sprinkles
