1

Mixing and Prepping

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well, and set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Baking and Cooling

Prepare a cupcake tin with liners. Fill each liner about 2/3 full with the cupcake batter. Pop them in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Decorating

Time to make those cupcakes cute and festive! Melt 1 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips in the microwave or on the stovetop using a double boiler. Dip each cooled cupcake into the melted chocolate, covering the entire top. Place them back on the wire rack to let the chocolate set. Before it completely hardens, gently press 2-3 small vegan-friendly candies or sprinkles into the chocolate to resemble Easter eggs. Let the chocolate fully harden before serving.
