Gluten-free and dairy-free Vanilla Cupcakes that are very moist, fluffy but thick, and filled with a light vanilla flavor.<\/strong> Topped with vanilla buttercream frosting, these cupcakes are an easy and classic dessert<\/strong> for birthday parties or other fun gatherings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What’s your favorite cupcake flavor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mine is either Funfetti<\/a> or Chocolate<\/a>. I really don’t know if I could decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, I recognize that for some of you Vanilla may be your favorite! So instead of posting more chocolate-flavor-based cupcakes, I decided to finally share a gluten-free and dairy-free Vanilla Cupcake recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And these cupcakes are GOOD.<\/strong> They are NOT your super light, fluffy and dry cupcakes that you buy from the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Vanilla Cupcakes are very moist, a little thick and dense but still fluffy<\/strong>, and I don’t think you would even know they’re gluten-free and dairy-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though I’m a total chocoholic, these Vanilla Cupcakes are seriously good and I’m a huge fan. If you’ve got a friend or family member who loves vanilla, these are the perfect birthday party treat.<\/strong> Or, they’re a great fun and simple Holiday dessert too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s talk ingredients and tips.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, to keep this recipe gluten-free AND dairy-free I recommend using<\/strong> almond milk and either coconut oil or a dairy-free butter alternative<\/a><\/strong> for the cupcakes themselves. For the frosting, be sure to also use almond milk and a dairy-free butter alternative too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you do not<\/em> need these cupcakes to be dairy-free, then go ahead and use whatever milk you prefer, and butter. If you have it, you can also use buttermilk instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe uses vinegar and lemon juice to curdle the milk to create “buttermilk.”<\/strong> If you don’t have vinegar or lemon juice, don’t worry, you can still make these cupcakes with regular milk too.<\/strong> I just think the “buttermilk” gives these cupcakes a little extra moisture and great flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than butter and milk, the rest of the ingredients for these cupcakes are very simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
