Vegan Funfetti Cupcakes (Gluten Free option)
Fluffy and colorful, these celebratory cupcakes are bursting with flavor and topped with a decadent vegan vanilla buttercream frosting!
Ingredients
Cupcake Ingredients
- 1¾ cups gluten free flour can sub all-purpose if desired. This links to my favorite store bought gluten free flour blend that works best with all of my recipes, or see "Ingredients Needed" section for further info.
- ¾ cup + 2 tbsp granulated sugar *if you want a sugar free option, this links to my favorite sweetener, you can substitute it 1:1 in place of regular granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- ¼ cup + 3 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup vegan sprinkles + some extra for sprinkling on top
Vegan Buttercream Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter cold, straight out of the fridge
- 3½ cups powdered sugar *if you want a sugar free option, this links to my favorite powdered sweetener, you can substitute it 1:1 in place of regular powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Then add in the non-dairy, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Finally, fold in the sprinkles.
- Pour your batter evenly into the cupcake liners. Note – I like to transfer the batter from a bowl into a measuring cup, since I find that easier to pour from. Each cupcake should be filled around 2/3 of the way up.
- Bake at 350°F for 20-24 minutes. I find my sweet spot to be around 22.5 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting, take cold butter from the fridge and mix with a hand mixer. Add in the vanilla, and add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, mixing until smooth each time. Once it’s combined and creamy, top your cupcakes either by spreading on or piping.
- Eat and enjoy!
