Ingredients

1 ¾ cup Self-Rising Flour (note 1)
⅓ cup Light Olive Oil (note 2)
1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (note 3)
1 cup Sugar (note 4)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin paper cases. Lightly oil the paper cases with oil spray. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add self-rising flour and sugar and whisk to combine.
Whisk in the oil and almond milk. If your milk is unflavored, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Whisk to form a smooth cupcake batter with no lumps.
Divide the batter evenly into the 12 muffin holes.
Bake the cupcakes on the center rack of your oven for 20-25 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool down completely on a cooling rack before frosting. Frost using my dairy-free vanilla frosting recipe.

Notes

Note 1: To make your batch of self-rising flour, whisk 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder in 1 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour.

Note 2: You can use any oil with a light flavor. Avoid melted coconut oil, as it forms lumps when it comes into contact with cold almond milk.

Note 3: Any dairy-free milk works in this recipe. I am using unsweetened vanilla almond milk, which adds a vanilla flavor to the batter. If your almond milk is unflavored, add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to flavor the cupcakes.

Note 4: Any granulated sweetener works for this recipe, including unrefined cane sugar. Darker sugar options, like coconut sugar, make the cupcakes darker in color.
