How to Make Sunrabbit's Vegan Pumpkin Cupcakes With Vegan Cream Cheese Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup melted coconut oil, and ¾ cup maple syrup.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill muffin liners ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes for regular-sized cupcakes, or 10-14 minutes for mini cupcakes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cupcakes cool, prepare the icing: In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces vegan cream cheese (softened), 4 tablespoons vegan butter (softened), 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  9. Once cupcakes are completely cool, frost with vegan cream cheese icing using a piping bag or knife.
