Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Baked Doughnut Hole Cupcakes

One day when we were making the doughnut holes (posted 4/27/10), I had a little extra batter so Jazlyn suggested making them into cupcakes. She loved them so much that when we needed vanilla cupcakes, she chose to make them instead of our regular recipe. She also wanted them to be her favorite color, blue. These cupcakes have a good flavor, but they are thicker and denser than the vanilla cupcakes I usually make.

Baked Doughnut Hole Cupcakes

2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tbsp water, 1 1/2 tbsp oil & 1 tsp baking powder - mixed together
3/4 cup soy milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 tsp oil

Combine the flour, sugar and baking powder. Add the water-oil-baking powder mixture, soy milk, vanilla and oil. Stir until thoroughly combined. Fill lined muffin cups 3/4 full with the batter. Bake at 325 for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
