Ingredients

Scale

For Cupcakes

1 1/2 c all purpose flour

1 c sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 c nondairy yogurt (unflavored and unsweetened)

1/2 c nondairy milk

1/2 c canola oil

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 c crushed chocolate sandwich cookies*

14 whole chocolate sandwich cookies

For Frosting

1 c non hydrogenated shortening

4 tbsp vegan butter

2 1/2 c powdered sugar

1 c crushed chocolate sandwich cookies

1 tsp vanilla extract

pinch sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C) and line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. In a small bowl, whisk together nondairy yogurt, nondairy milk, canola oil and vanilla extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not over-mix. Gently fold in 1 cup crushed cookies.

2. Drop 1 entire chocolate sandwich cookie into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Cover with prepared batter until about 3/4 of the way full. Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center of cupcake comes out clean with only a few crumbs clinging to it. Allow cupcakes to cool for 2-3 minutes in cupcake pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. 

3. While cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. Add shortening and vegan butter to a large bowl and beat with an electric hand or stand mixer until well-combined, about 30 seconds. Add powdered sugar to the bowl and beat until all sugar is incorporated. Add in crushed cookies, vanilla and salt. Beat until cookies are well-distributed. Top cooled cupcakes with frosting using a piping bag or an offset spatula

Notes

*A lot of chocolate sandwich cookies on the market (Oreos and generic brands) are accidentally vegan. Check the ingredients on the packaging and pick your favorites.

**Prepared cupcakes will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. Cupcakes can also be frozen, unfrosted for up to 1 month.
