Vegan Dollhouse - Koala Cupcakes

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons unbleached flour (or use any all-purpose flour)
• the contents of 1 earl grey tea bag (I used allegro because it was the cheapest organic one at whole foods)
• 3 tablespoons organic or raw sugar
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk (if you use soymilk, buy organic)
• 1 tablespoon safflower oil (or use sunflower oil or any vegetable oil)
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons vegan butter or margarine (if you avoid soy, get the soy-free earth balance; otherwise, get the organic whipped earth balance)
• 1 tablespoon organic palm shortening (I use spectrum because it’s sustainable)
• ⅔ cup organic powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 teeny tiny drop black vegan food coloring
• 1-2 drops of non-dairy milk, if needed for consistency (if you use soymilk, buy organic)
• ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips
• 6 mini round crackers
