Ingredients
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unflavored and unsweetened non-dairy milk
  • cup canola oil (or your favorite baking oil)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with papers.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  4. In a separate bowl or large liquid measuring cup, stir together the milk, oil, and vanilla.

  5. Use a spoon to form a well in the flour mixture, then pour in the milk mixture.

  6. Beat the ingredients together with an electric mixer at highs-speed, just until fully blended, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

  7. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins. Each cavity should be about ⅔ full. If you have too much batter, use a second muffin tin or bake the excess batter in a second batch.

  8. Bake the cupcakes for about 25 to 28 minutes. Test the cupcakes by pressing on the top of one with a finger. If the cupcakes are done, it should spring back.

  9. Remove the cupcakes from the oven, transfer the tin to a cooling rack, and allow the cupcakes to cool completely.

  10. Frost or top the cupcakes as desired, and serve.
