How to Make Gluten Free Sugar Free Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes With Chocolate

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Add a little water to the empty muffin cups to prevent uneven baking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup soy milk, 1/2 cup canola oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, and 1/2 cup agave nectar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. The batter will be thin.
  5. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 1 hour to allow the agave to set.
  8. While cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting:
  9. In a medium bowl, beat together 1/2 cup vegan margarine (softened), 1/4 cup agave nectar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  10. Add 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and mix until combined.
  11. Gradually add powdered soy milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired frosting consistency. Add more agave nectar if the frosting is too thick, or more powdered soy milk if it's too thin.
  12. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, frost and enjoy!
