Vegan Cupcake Batter

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond milk
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, liquefied
• 1.5 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12 cup muffin pans or line with 18 paper baking cups.
2. Measure the apple cider vinegar into a 2 cup measuring cup. Fill with almond milk to make 1 1/2 cups. Let stand until curdled, about 5 minutes. In a large bowl, Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk mixture, coconut oil and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter.
4. Frost with desired frosting.

*Notes: this recipe does not rise as well as cake batter, but cupcakes are more fun anyway!
