vegan berry cupcakes

blueberries are my favorite thing! i love blueberries. i could honestly sit and eat an entire box of blueberries at once. so with a big family holiday party coming up tomorrow and blueberries on sale at my local grocery store, i couldn’t resist whipping these up to share :)

VEGAN BERRY CUPCAKES

1 3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. applesauce
1/4 c. almond milk
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. fresh berries

mix flour, baking soda and sugar in a small bowl. in a larger bowl, beat together applesauce, almond millk, oil and vanilla until well-blended

now for the blueberries! i have used this recipe with other berries too, and it’s just as delicious; raspberries, blackberries, and just about any other berry are all fair game

this is the perfect recipe for breaking in my new mortar and pestle! so excited

crush the blueberries. the only big pieces remaining should basically be skin. if you liked you can crush them with sugar to taste, but i didn’t add any sugar to mine. add the crushed berries to the wet mixture, and mix. beat in the flour mixture until smooth, but with berry pieces still visible. bake at 350* for 22-26 minutes

they smelled awesome coming out of the oven!

i used vegan buttercream frosting to top these tasty things! (http://feganbaking.tumblr.com/post/14737510079/vegan-buttercream-frosting)

so pleased with how they turned out! more moist and sweet than a blueberry muffin for sure, and the frosting sealed the deal

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
