Notes
Feel free to experiment with different plant-based milks for unique flavors; coconut milk adds richness, while almond milk is a more neutral option.
Consider adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your plant-based milk for a buttermilk substitute effect; it helps achieve a light texture. These cupcakes can be easily adapted by stirring in mix-ins like nuts, dried fruits, or even a dollop of jam for extra flavor.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze them for later. Just thaw at room temperature before enjoying!
For a simple frosting, try using vegan cream cheese or make a dark chocolate ganache for a rich topping.
