These are absolutely the BEST vegan vanilla cupcakes I have ever tried. Not only that, but I made these gluten free and they are still the best! I used King Arthur gluten free baking mix, same quantity as stated, and kept all the other ingredients the same and followed to a T. They are delicious and wonderful. It is so hard to find a good gluten free AND vegan vanilla cupcake. My Darling Vegan has hit the nail on the head!! This recipe is light, has a lovely moist crumb, and not too sweet. And uses straight forward pantry ingredients, just executed professionally and makes a delectable cupcake. You''re amazing! Thank you for creating and sharing this!

This is a warning for others: I swapped in the flour for gluten free 1:1 bobs red mill, avocado oil, and coconut sugar. Im not sure which one caused my batter to fail but it was so bad! lol. They werent edible.
next time I would follow this recipe exactly.

I made these for a vegan friend and she loved them so much, I've been asked to make more for her baby shower. Can I substitute half of the vegan butter for coconut oil or shortening (for the frosting) so they will hold up better in the hot weather? (I'm in Australia)

I just made these for my mom who’s dr put her on a strict diet. She is now gluten free and vegan. I substituted the flour and the confection sugar. I used swerve sugar for both replacements ( Blending the sugar for a powdered like sugar for the icing) ( I would also use less of the sugar for the icing if using swerve) It came out fantastic! My husband even loved it!

I've had trouble trying to make vegan cupcakes in the past. This recipe and the tips were super easy to follow. The cupcakes tasted great, moist, and not too sweet. They actually fluffed up. Other receipts I've tried have usually sunk in the middle. I should add, I didn't have canola oil, so I had to swap it out for melted vegan butter (cashew butter/coconut oil mix), and I used oatmilk. I didn't want to stray too far from the original recipe but I had to work with what I had. The tips seriously helped. Thank you!

Can I substitute the AP flour with any GF flours? If so, what do you recommend? Thanks!

Any tips for making this without a mixer or is that possible? Thanks!

In reply to Ylenia. It might either by your altitude, in which case you'll need to add a little more leavener. Or you overmixed or your baking powder could have been expired. Those are my best guesses.

I made this yesterday and they taste really good. However they didn’t rise as much as they should. Any idea of why this could have happened?

In reply to Dushyanthi. Yes, I would add orange zest and replace the non-dairy milk with orange juice.
