These Vegan Chai Cupcakes Are So Much Better Than a Cup of Tea
I'm an omnivore myself, but I love making vegan baked goods, because they taste amazing and I always like to think they're healthier for some reason. This vegan chai cupcake recipe has an amazing texture and can be enjoyed by vegans and meat-eaters alike!
If you're a fan of drinking tea (chai = tea), you will love it in cupcakes. These have a nice mild flavor of the almond milk and chai, with an added perk of the ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. You can also get fancy with adding a cinnamon stick and star anise pod for decoration, I got them in the bulk section of my local co-op and they were super affordable and oh so pretty.
You can also do another solid for the environment by using compostable cupcake liners like these. Definitely make these for your next party or get-together.
