This recipe is not only non-dairy, but it's vegan and actually delicious!

Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix first 5 dry ingredients.
- Split the vanilla beans lengthwise into halves with a sharp knife. With the flat, unsharpened side of the knife, scrape the seeds as much as possible from the vanilla bean halves. Add the vanilla seeds to coconut oil. You can substitute the vanilla beans with 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, but the beans provide a much richer vanilla flavor.
- Mix the coconut oil-vanilla mixture with the almond milk and vinegar in a separate larger bowl. Gradually mix dry mixture into wet mixture. Mix well until smooth.
- Bake on middle rack of oven for 30 minutes. Insert toothpick and ensure it comes out clean. Cool cupcakes then top with Vanilla Bean Frosting.
Frosting
- Cream together softened vegan butter and scraped vanilla bean.
- Beat mixture together with powdered sugar until creamy. You may need to add a couple splashes of the almond milk to ensure frosting is smooth.
- Frost cupcakes.
