Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- ½ teaspoon of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon of white or apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon of canola or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup of pumpkin puree
- 1 cup of water
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line a cupcake tin with silicone or paper baking cups to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all dry and wet ingredients. Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a fluffy texture.
- Fill Cups: Pour the batter evenly into each prepared baking cup, filling them about three-quarters full to allow space for rising during baking.
- Bake: Place the cupcake tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a cupcake; if it comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs, the cupcakes are ready.
Notes
- For extra moist cupcakes, you can add a tablespoon of applesauce or use pumpkin puree fresh from the can.
- Feel free to add vegan chocolate chips, nuts, or dried cranberries to the batter for added texture and flavor.
- Top with your favorite vegan frosting or a simple glaze for an extra special treat.
- Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
