Vegan Cupcakes

Veganism is a lifestyle that is becoming more popular world-wide. There are many reasons for the increase of veganism, but one big reason is health. Vegan diets have been shown to reduce cholesterol and lower blood pressure, which can help people with obesity. Other reasons include animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and religious beliefs.

There are many different ways to make vegan cupcakes without using any dairy or eggs. Some recipes use vegan butter or margarine instead of regular butter. And some recipes use fruit purees as a substitute for eggs in the batter.
