Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tray with 12 cupcake liners.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    In another bowl, combine the applesauce, maple syrup, plant milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  5. 5

    Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
