Vegan Cupcakes are cupcakes that are dairy free and use vegetable related ingredients. They are ideal for people who don't eat or use animal related products of any kind. The ingredients used are similar to typical cupcakes except soy milk is used instead of cow's milk and eggs and butter are excluded altogether.
About Veganism
Veganism is based in animal rights and environmental concerns. To become a vegan one must exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, and other purposes. The word vegan was originally derived from the term vegetarian, which also excludes meat but includes animal derived products such as dairy. It is believed that a vegan diet can lower risk of heart attack, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and stroke.
