Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups
  • Muffin tin
  • Cupcake liners

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup lactose-free milk (e.g., oat milk)
  • 0.33 cup coconut oil or melted vegan butter
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add lactose-free milk, coconut oil (or vegan butter), and the egg (or flax egg) to the dry ingredients.
  • Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool before frosting.

Notes

Experiment with different lactose-free milks for varied flavors; oat milk is a popular choice. For frosting, try whipped coconut cream for a light and fluffy topping. Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week. To freeze, wrap each cupcake individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw at room temperature or microwave briefly before serving. Don't hesitate to add flavors like vanilla or cocoa powder to the batter for variety.
