These dairy-free vanilla cupcakes are perfectly moist, fluffy, and quick to bake— ready in just 20 minutes! The combination of vegetable oil and dairy-free milk makes the cupcakes delightfully tall and thick, yet also light and fluffy. As for topping, my dairy-free buttercream frosting is the perfect pairing. It’s vanilla based and pipes like a dream! Recipe yields 12 cupcakes.
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl combine the ¾ cup sugar, 1 ¼ cup all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ¼ tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp kosher salt and whisk lightly to combine.
Next add in the ¾ cup oat milk, tablespoon of vanilla, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1 egg.
