Dairy Free Chocolate Cupcakes
Hey Everyone, I am clearly on a cupcake "bender" lately.
I don't know why because for the many years that I have had this blog, I haven't done a whole lot of cupcakes but maybe that's what was missing in my life.
To me, cupcakes are literally, the icing on the cake - so to speak.
Cupcakes are beautiful, whimsical, individual, and perhaps that what I need more in my life now more than ever: more of that icing - I mean that literally and figuratively 🙂
As I think about it, my children are now 6 months old and nearly 4 at this point, I am in my mid-thirties (36 is still mid-30's, right?!), in this coming July, Eric and I will have been married 7, yes 7 YEARS. It's amazing.
This is my time to seize the moment and "crush it" as they say.
Well, I am totally ready and as I do that I will be "crushing" one of these lovely Dairy Free Chocolate Cupcakes.
I started making dairy-free recipes when Eric and I got together because he's lactose intolerant.
Together, we are always looking to go more plant-based in our diet, as a general lifestyle.
I, personally, am not completely dairy-free because I do not have to be but since I make nearly all of the food we consume in this household, I want to be able to make dairy-free recipes that everyone can enjoy.

Here are the ingredients that I use for these Dairy Free Chocolate Cupcakes:

About Silk
Silk is dairy-free and lactose-free.
I love the creamy texture and taste of both the All Natural Unsweetened Almondmilk and the Vanilla Almond Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative.
As I adapt my favorite recipes to be dairy-free for our family, these Silk products help me to seamlessly do that.
