Rayyaan’s Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Vanilla Frosted Cupcakes

She’s done it again! My daughter, Rayyaan, has created another sweet indulgence that anyone—vegan or otherwise—would love. The best thing about these delicious cupcakes is how clean they are. Nothing that could contribute to chronic symptoms or disrupt your health.

I am constantly blown away by all of the energy Rayyaan has in the kitchen; she’s a culinary machine! I look forward to sharing more of her recipes with you soon. And, if you’re okay to consume a bit of fat here and there, enjoy this decadent healing treat!

To your health and happiness,

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F
Line a cupcake tray with 12 cupcake liners
Add all the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix until combined
In a separate bowl, combine the liquid ingredients. Mix well until you have a smooth batter
Divide the batter evenly by pouring into 12 cupcake liners
Place the cupcake tray in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, poke a toothpick or knife into the center of one cupcake; it should come out clean. If it’s still wet, bake for another 1-2 minutes and check again
After baking, let the cupcakes cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring the cupcakes to a wire cooling rack to cool completely
While your cupcakes are baking, make the frosting. Add the vegan butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of almond milk to the bowl of your stand mixer and mix at slow speed. Gradually increase the speed until the frosting is thick and smooth. If it is too thick, add the remaining tablespoon of almond milk
When the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe on the frosting and add sprinkles to the top
Enjoy!

Notes

Storing and Freezing: Keep them covered at room temperature, where they will stay good for 2-3 days. They will stay good for about a week in a covered container in the fridge. They also freeze well!
