Vegan Lavender & Vanilla Cupcakes 

(for those tho wanted the recipe)

1 cup almond milk

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1/3 cup canola or coconut oil

1 cup sugar (I like these on the sweet side)

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp sea salt or kosher salt

Add the vinegar to the almond milk and let sit for 5 min. until it curdles a bit.  Pre-heat the oven to 350° F.  Sift the dry ingredients separately. Whisk the oil, sugar and vanilla into the almond milk and then incorporate the dry ingredients. Add a pinch of fresh lavender (I have a heavy hand with it, because I love the aroma). Bake for 25 min. in paper baking cups until they’re golden and springy. Let cool well, as they’re a bit sticky when they come out, and there you go! 

* You can also make a bit of a glaze by whisking some lemon zest, lemon juice, and confectioner’s sugar and dip the little cupcakes once they’re cool. It’s delicious.
