Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes (steamed)
These vegan steamed vanilla cupcakes are made on the stovetop without turning on the oven at all. They have a wonderfully soft, pillowy texture unique to steamed cakes, with a rich brown sugar sweetness and a lovely vanilla fragrance throughout. No eggs, no dairy, and a fun alternative method for when you want something homemade without the oven.
