Vegan Lotus Biscoff cupcakes recipe
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 8–10 1x
- Diet: Vegan
Description
The BEST ever Vegan Biscoff Cupcakes, which are super easy to make!
Ingredients
Ingredients for the cakes
- 240ml of dairy-free milk
- 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
- 210g of self-raising flour
- 100g of caster sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
- 15g of Lotus Biscoff cookies (crushed)
- 60g of sunflower oil (or melted coconut oil)
Ingredients for the buttercream
- 130g of dairy-free butter/margarine
- 400g of icing sugar
- 1 tablespoons of Biscoff spread
- Dairy-free milk (if needed)
+
- Lotus Biscoff cookies
- Biscoff spread (Melted)
Instructions
Method (cupcakes)
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees c fan and line a cupcake tin with cupcake cases and add half a Biscoff cookie to the bottom of each cupcake case.
- In a small bowl, combine the almond milk with the apple cider vinegar and whisk until fully combined. Set aside for 10 minutes to curdle. This creates a vegan ‘buttermilk’.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Mix well to combine.
- Add the oil to the ‘buttermilk’ and whisk to combine.
- Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a smooth batter.
- Fold in the crushed cookies.
- Fill the cases 3/4 full with the batter. Make sure to tap the tins on the worktop to remove any air bubbles.
- Pop the cakes into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes. You will know they are done when you put a knife or skewer in and it comes out clean and they are springy to the touch.
- Place the cupcakes on a cooling rack and allow to cool fully before frosting.
Method (buttercream)
- Cream the butter in a bowl, on a high speed until creamy. I use my stand mixer with the balloon whisk attachment.
- When your butter/margarine is creamy & light in colour, add in the icing sugar and Biscoff spread. Whizz together until fluffy & fully combined. Add a splash of dairy-free milk if too thick.
- Transfer the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with an open star tip nozzle. I use a Wilton 2D piping tip.
- Core the cupcakes and fill with some melted Biscoff spread (optional). To make it easier, I added the melted Biscoff to a piping bag.
- Pipe a swirl of buttercream onto each cupcake.
- Top off with a drizzle of Biscoff spread, cookies and crumbled cookies.
- Serve these cupcakes fresh or store in a sealed container in or out of the fridge, the buttercream will firm up at room temperature.
Notes
Store: Store these cupcakes in a sealed container in the fridge. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.

Has anyone converted the mesasurements for this recipe to cups instead of grams?
I made these yesterday to celebrate and everyone loved them. They're amazing and so are you for making all of these yummy recipes 😃😛
Oh wow! I'm so happy you enjoyed them! Thankyou x
It's my third time making these. My daughter wants them every time she comes home from college 😛😍
Aww thankyou! Thats so cute! So happy you all like them! 😀 x
I don't have an electric whisk or hand mixer 🙁 anyone know how i could cream the frosting without one?
Hello, You can use a non-electric hand whisk! I would advise a electric whisk as it creams up the butter so its ultra smooth and whippy!
You can get them cheap online! 🙂 x
These turned out fab, best vegan cakes Iv'e actually made taste and texture wise. I ended up with way too much buttercream icing though so I halved the recipe and made 5 more. It may have been because my piping nozzle was a lot smaller so i used less on the topping.
Thank you 😀
I have made these a few times now, they are fabulous! I find half the buttercream is plenty enough to cover 12 cakes and Oatly "whole milk" works a treat! Thankyou <3
Thankyou so much! Im so happy you like them! x
What 'butter' do you use? Whenever I make dairy free butter icing, the butter splits!
What icing sugar did you use? All the ones I've seen in shops aren't vegan and contain dried egg white.
What butter would you use please?
I only have AP flour! How much baking powder should I add to this!
Amazing recipe, they come out perfect!
