Vegan cupcakes represent the perfect storm of vegan desserts. They’re delicious, adorable, and cruelty-free. They’ve taken the throne on the Food Network show “Cupcake Wars,” defeating a wide assortment of egg and dairy-based cupcakes.
On top of all this, cupcakes are a perfect choice for the novice baker since they’re so easy to make. There’s no yeast to deal with, no fussy techniques to master, nor any fancy cooking supplies required apart from a cupcake tin.
There are now three different cookbooks entirely devoted to exploring the greatness of vegan cupcakes:
- Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, by Moskowitz & Romero
- Vegan Cupcakes, by Toni Rodríguez
- Delightful Vegan Cupcakes Cookbook, by Allie Allen
Along with cookies, cupcakes offer a terrific entry point to begin your exploration of vegan baking. So just grab yourself a cupcake pan and one of the above cookbooks, and dive in!
