These vegan biscoff cupcakes are a dream come true for biscoff lovers everywhere! And I count myself very firmly in that camp. Ever since I first tasted biscoff cookie butter I have been in love with it.

So it’s no surprise that we made a vegan biscoff cake and vegan biscoff brownies and now here we are with these vegan biscoff cupcakes.

They are super easy to make, heaps of fun and look absolutely gorgeous too.

And if you love cupcakes then you’ll also love our vegan banana cupcakes and our vegan carrot cake cupcakes.

Ingredient Notes

  • Canola oil – can be replaced with vegetable oil.
  • Vegan buttermilk – is ideally made with a mix of soy milk and lemon juice, that curdles beautifully into vegan buttermilk. Soy milk is my favorite choice since it makes a really rich and creamy buttermilk. However, if you can’t do soy, then almond milk also works.
  • Biscoff cookie butter – can usually be found near the peanut butter in your supermarket. If not though, then you can easily order it online (which is what I do). If you’re in the USA then feel free to use Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter instead.
  • Biscoff cookies – (not pictured) are used to decorate these cupcakes. They’re completely optional, but they do look awesome! If you have any struggle finding them locally, then you can get them online.

How To Make Vegan Biscoff Cupcakes

Cupcakes:

  • Sift all purpose flour into a mixing bowl and add light brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Mix together.
Dry ingredients added to a mixing bowl and mixed.
  • Prepare your vegan buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to a measuring jug and then adding soy milk up to the 1 cup line. Let it curdle.

Baker’s Tips

Weigh your flour. Either weigh your flour out on a food scale or use the spoon and level method to measure the flour. To spoon and level, simply spoon the flour into your measuring cup and then level off the top with the back of a knife. Don’t scoop it or pack it into the cup.

Melt the biscoff cookie butter before using it in your cupcake batter. The easiest way to melt biscoff is to place it into a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals, bringing it out to stir every 15-seconds until melted.

Don’t overmix the batter. Mix it briefly until just mixed and then stop mixing.

Bake the cupcakes right away. Once you’ve divided the batter between your cupcake liners, bake them right away. Letting the batter sit for too long can prevent them from rising properly.
