Why You’ll Love Them

These cupcakes are:

• Fluffy & Tender: Perfectly airy for that dreamy bite.
• Moist & Flavorful: Vanilla-forward goodness keeps you coming back for more.
• Highly Shareable: A treat that everyone can enjoy, including your gluten-free friends!

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for these delightful vegan treats:

• 1 ⅓ cups almond flour
• 1/3 heaping cup potato starch (This adds lightness to your cupcakes)
• 1/4 cup brown rice flour
• 2/3 cup cane sugar (for sweetness!)
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder (for that perfect rise)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 2/3 cup dairy-free milk (we love almond milk!)
• 1 large flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water, mix & let it sit for 5 mins)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (for a burst of flavor)
• 1/3 cup multi-color sprinkles (graduated happiness)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a muffin tin with 9 paper liners.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, potato starch, brown rice flour, cane sugar, baking powder, and sea salt until fully combined.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in your dairy-free milk, flax egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.

4. Fold in Funfetti: Gently stir in the sprinkles.

5. Fill and Bake: Divide the batter among the muffin liners, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake for 23-28 minutes, or until the tops spring back when touched or a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Cool Down: Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack for complete cooling—around 1 hour.

7. Top Off (Optional): Frost with your favorite vegan frosting, sprinkle on more joy (sprinkles!), and enjoy!

Enjoy Them Fresh!

These delightful vegan cupcakes are best enjoyed within 2-3 days. Store them in an airtight container to keep them moist. If you’re using a frosting that melts quickly, frost just before serving for best results.
