If you prefer to use eggs, for dairy-free, but not vegan vanilla cupcakes, 2 eggs can be substituted for the flaxseed and water.

Ingredients
Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes:
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 6 tablespoons water
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons dairy-free, non-hydrogenated margarine
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Large pinch of salt
- ⅓ cup each of So Delicious Dairy Free Unsweetened Coconut Milk Yogurt and Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage, combined
Strawberry Filling:
- 2 cups diced strawberries
- 2 tablespoon sugar
Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons So Delicious Dairy Free Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage
Instructions
Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a food processor mix ground flax seed and water until the mix becomes viscous and 'egg-like' to create flax 'eggs'.
- In a large mixing bowl cream together margarine and sugar. Add flax eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture and milk/yogurt mixture in batches, starting and ending with flour.
- Spoon batter into mini or regular cupcake tins with liners. Bake for 12-15 minutes for minis or 18-22 minutes for regular or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Strawberry Filling:
- Heat strawberries and sugar over medium heat, whisking while cooking to further break up the strawberries. Cook for approximately 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Lemon Glaze:
- Mix all ingredients for the glaze in a bowl and set aside.
Assembly:
- Once cupcakes and filling have cooled, spoon the filling into a piping bag with a round piping tip. Insert the tip into center of cupcake and squeeze some filling into the middle. Repeat until all cupcakes are filled.
- Dip the top of cupcakes into the glaze or spoon the glaze over them. Enjoy!
