Perfect Vegan and Gluten-free Vanilla Cupcakes

it’s always a good day to have cupcakes, am i right?! these are the easiest vanilla cupcakes you will ever come across. they’re made with almond flour and totally delicious. Perfect Vegan and Gluten-free Vanilla Cupcakes should be on your weekend baking lineup!

i adore a good cupcake, but then again, who doesn’t?! this is my first vegan vanilla cupcake recipe on the blog and it’s long overdue! perfect for birthdays or just any day celebrating life.

the base is simple with minimal ingredients but yummy flavors and then as far as the frosting goes, i just used a healthier store bought vanilla flavor- the brand is Simple Mills.

you can use any frosting you want on top and decoration options are endless. chocolate chips and chocolate frosting were my second choice!

once i looked into the pantry, i saw about 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles left and ya know, they’re just fun and brighten the day. i love anything funfetti!

you could absolutely add sprinkles to the batter, but i kept the cupcakes plain this time around.

you could also add in chocolate chips, pecans, walnuts and more- getting creative is fun!

almond flour has a higher fat content than all-purpose flour and a totally different texture, so sub at your own risk with other flours lol.

my version is naturally sweetened with maple syrup, which makes the texture so soft and fluffy. i do prefer maple syrup in my cupcakes as opposed to cane sugar, but i suppose it depends on the recipe.
