1-BOWL VEGAN FUNFETTI CUPCAKES

1-bowl vegan funfetti cupcakes that taste JUST like the real thing! Fluffy, sweet, and loaded with vegan buttercream and sprinkles.

Ingredients
CUPCAKES:

• 1 scant cup non-dairy milk
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup neutral oil (such as avocado)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 scant cup organic cane sugar
• 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles* (plus more for topping)

FROSTING:

• 1/2 cup vegan butter (softened // 1 stick yields 1/2 cup - we like Earth Balance and Myoko's brands)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 - 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 splash non-dairy milk (optional // almond and coconut are best!)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a standard muffin holder with 12 paper liners (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size).
2. Add non-dairy milk and vinegar or lemon juice to a large mixing bowl and let set a few minutes to curdle/activate. Then add oil and vanilla and whisk or use a hand mixer to beat vigorously to combine. Then add sugar and whisk or use a hand mixer to beat to combine/dissolve. It may splash so be careful!
3. Add dry ingredients (omitting sprinkles) to a sifter in this order: two-thirds of the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and then the remaining third of the flour.
4. Sift over wet ingredients and use a whisk or hand mixer to blend until well incorporated and no large lumps remain. The texture should be somewhere between thick and thin. Not liquidy, but not scoopable (rather, pourable). Somewhere near a buttermilk pancake batter consistency. We had to add another 1-2 Tbsp flour to thicken slightly.
5. Add sprinkles and gently fold/stir with a rubber spatula or mixing spoon. Then divide batter evenly among cupcake holders making sure NOT to overfill. These do best at 3/4 of the way up.
6. Bake on a center rack for 20-24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. They will only have a very, very slight golden brown color.
