Ingredients

For the cupcakes:

  • 1 cup oat milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste - or vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped Oreo cookies

For the frosting:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12-muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
  • Into a large bowl, whisk together the oat milk and apple cider vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Add the sugar, oil, vanilla bean paste, and almond extract. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • To the sugar mixture, add half of the flour mixture. Continue mixing just until blended.
  • Add the remaining flour mixture and beat, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until fully incorporated.
  • Stir in the coarsely chopped Oreo cookies.
  • Pour the batter 3/4 of the way into each of the 12 liners.
  • Bake 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Once the cupcakes are cooled completely, prepare the Vanilla Buttercream Frosting as directed.
  • Into the prepared frosting, stir the remaining finely chopped Oreo cookies.
  • Top each cupcake with frosting and serve.
