Ingredients

Scale

Cupcake Batter

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Wash, hull, and chop fresh strawberries into small pieces. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with paper liners to get ready for the batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent to ensure even distribution and consistent texture in the cupcakes.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together sugar, plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and natural vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined to maintain fluffiness without overmixing.
  5. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the batter, spreading the berry pieces evenly without breaking them down to preserve texture.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Divide the batter evenly into cupcake liners and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and edges are lightly golden.
  7. Cool and Frost: Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. Top with your favorite plant-based frosting and garnish with fresh strawberry slices for an irresistible finish.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for the sweetest and most flavorful cupcakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep cupcakes light and airy.
  • Measure ingredients accurately for the best texture and rise.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Add fresh strawberries blended into frosting for extra strawberry flavor.
