Don't be put off by the fact that these are vegan.
They are so delicious and bursting with fresh blueberry and lemon flavor, you won't miss a thing!
The Lovely Vegan in my house made these for her godmother's birthday celebration.
We also served Dipped Chocolate Vodka Soaked Strawberries.
*edit* I just found out that the strawberries were featured here!!!!!
Woo hoo!!
We happened to have a lot of blueberries so this recipe seemed just right.
She found it here and made a few alterations.
I just noticed they are called Blueberry Lemonade Cupcakes, oops!
{I love this photo that shows so much going on at one time.}
Whatever you want to call them, they are delicious and everyone raved about them.
If you try them, I'm sure you're going to love them.
Here's the recipe she used:
1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
1 TBS apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup of sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
lemon rind
1-2 TBS fresh lemon juice (1/2 of a lemon)
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp Kosher salt
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Mix milk and cider vinegar in a large bowl and set it aside for a few minutes to curdle (this makes it like a buttermilk)
Add oil, sugar, lemon rind and juice and mix well.
Sift together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Add the dry to the wet ingredients, mixing to combine but being careful not to over mix
Gently fold in the blueberries.
Scoop the batter into muffin tins lined with cupcake wrapper and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let them cool completely before icing.
Icing recipe:
1/2 cup Earth Balance vegan margarine
3 cups 10x sugar
1-2 TBS fresh lemon juice
1 tsp almond milk (more or less depending on consistency)
Whip up the margarine and lemon juice then add the sugar a little at a time. Thin if needed with the almond milk until you have the desired consistency.
Top with fresh blueberries after icing.
