Vegan Strawberry Cupcakes

Recipe adapted from "The Joy of Vegan Baking"

- 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk or water
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup melted nondairy butter
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 to 1 cup chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- non-dairy frosting if desired. (will post a recipe once I find a good one)

Preheat oven to 375 F. Mix dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Stir to combine, add strawberries and fold in.  Don't over stir.  Pour batter into greased muffin tins or use cupcake liners and fill them half way.

Bake for 30 min or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Let cupcakes cool before frosting them.
