Ingredients

  • 1 cup caster sugar or coconut palm sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2/3 cup cacao powder
  • tsp baking powder
  • 1/3 tsp bicarb
  • pinch salt
  • tsp instant finely ground coffee

Caramel

  • 2 tbsp smooth almond butter
  • 2 tbsp honey

  • 3 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 1/2 cup icing sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180 and line a muffin tray with cupcake cases. Mix together the cider vinegar and non-dairy milk and set this aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
  • Add in all of your dry ingredients and fold the mixture together, along with the milk and vinger mix to create a smooth batter.
  • Spoon your cupcake batter into the paper cases, being craeful not to overfill. Pop these into the oven for around 20 minutes, until cooked through. Then transfer to a wire wrack and allow to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, for the caramel, gently melt the nut butter and coconut oil together and stir in the maple syrup and salt.
  • For the butter cream, beat the butter until pale and creamy, then gradually add in your sugar whilst mixing until you're left with a thick and creamy frosting. Stir through your coffee mixture and adjust to taste.
  • Once your cupcakes have cooled, cut a small section from the middle and fill with some of the caramel mixture. Decorate with a generous swirl of buttercream frosting and serve.
