Who doesn’t love a good bake sale? They usually are held to raise money for a good cause or children’s sports teams, making it almost impossible to resist those homemade goodies. Mix up the traditional bake sale offerings by volunteering to make some dairy-free goods so everyone can partake and enjoy the treats. Here are 10 dairy-free cupcakes and muffins for your next bake sale.
These Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins are much healthier than your regular muffin, containing gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, applesauce, mashed banana, coconut milk, zucchini and vegan chocolate chips or cacao nibs.
These whimsical cupcakes have a buttercream frosting made from vegan margarine, confectioner’s sugar, and a few drops of blue food coloring. You can always omit the blue or whisk together some blueberries for an alternative, purple-blue color.
Lemon poppyseed is certainly delicious, but to mix things up, try an orange poppyseed flavor instead. Use the zest of one orange for the refreshing orange taste.
Make a chocolate hazelnut cake and top with more chocolate hazelnut goodness for the frosting. This decadent treat will please chocoholics everywhere.
These muffins can double as a breakfast treat if you add more fruits and veggies into the mix.
With every bite, your tongue will be enveloped in decadent chocolate with the taste of orange. The icing has a surprising ingredient which makes it nice and creamy: tofu.
No, those little black dots in these muffins are not chocolate chips – they’re watermelon seeds! They have a slightly nutty taste, making them perfect compliments to sweet banana muffins.
With beets as the main ingredient, you can feel good about eating some chocolate along with the nutrient-rich beets, which are high in potassium, magnesium, fiber, phosphorus, iron; vitamins A, B & C; beta-carotene, and folic acid.
These cupcakes balance vanilla, blueberry and white chocolate for those who are not fans of dark chocolate. Garnish with some fresh blueberries on top.
In these strawberry lemonade cupcakes, the combination of sweet and sour blends nicely in a fluffy cupcake.
