Spooky and delicious vegan cupcakes filled with strawberry jam and drizzled with ‘blood’. Perfect for Halloween parties!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond or other non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free option available)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 – 1/2 cup strawberry jam
  • Vegan vanilla icing of choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside to let it curdle slightly.
  3. In a larger bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until combined.
  5. Pour the milk mixture into the wet ingredients and stir until smooth. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into a lined cupcake pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Once the cupcakes have cooled, cut a small hole at the top of each one. Fill with a teaspoon of strawberry jam and place the top back on.
  8. Ice the cupcakes with your favorite vegan vanilla icing.
  9. Using a straw, poke two small holes in the top of each cupcake. Mix a little water with some jam to thin it out, then drip this mixture out of the holes to create a ‘blood’ effect.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. Can be stored at room temperature for up to three days, or one week in the fridge.
