Ingredients & Substitutions
Using unsweetened applesauce not only helps to replace flax egg but also adds moisture. You can swap in any plant-based almond milk you prefer or even use a nut almond milk for added flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding some spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm twist!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar on top once they're cooled for a cute touch!
- •Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I love to add a swirl of peanut butter or almond butter into the batter before baking for an extra indulgent treat.
- •You can also experiment with different extracts like almond or lemon for a unique flavor profile.
Storage & Freezing
To keep them fresh, I recommend storing these cupcakes in an airtight container. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze them! Just wrap each one individually in plastic wrap and pop them in a freezer-safe bag.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead?
Absolutely! Whole wheat flour will give them a nuttier flavor and a bit more texture. Just note they might be a little denser.
