FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
THE RECIPE CALLS FOR UNSALTED BUTTER BUT CAN I USE SALTED BUTTER INSTEAD?
Yes, you can! Just omit the extra salt called in the recipe.
WHAT TYPES OF SPRINKLES SHOULD I USE TO MAKE FUNFETTI CUPCAKES?
The best sprinkles for making funfetti cupcakes are rainbow jimmies. They are long sprinkles. Do not use nonpareils (the little balls) as they quickly bleed their color.
CAN I FREEZE EGGLESS FUNFETTI CUPCAKES?
Unfrosted cupcakes can be frozen up to 2-3 months. Follow these steps:
- Let cupcakes cool COMPLETELY.
- Wrap cupcakes tightly in plastic wrap.
- Place individually wrapped cupcakes in a plastic double zipper quart freezer bag.
To defrost, unwrap cupcakes and bring them to room temperature. Frost to your liking.
CAN I USE THIS RECIPE TO MAKE MINI EGGLESS FUNFETTI CUPCAKES?
Yes, if you want to make these cupcakes in a miniature muffin tin instead of a regular muffin tin, use mini paper liners and bake them around 10-12 minutes. Check the cupcakes around 10 minutes. You can test for doneness by sticking a toothpick in the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, they are done.
STORING
Unfrosted cupcakes will keep well for 2 days at room temp, make sure they are covered. For longer storage, place them up to a week in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer. Frosted cupcakes must be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that they will lose some of their fluffiness once cooled
MAKE AHEAD EGGLESS FUNFETTI CUPCAKES
Cupcakes can be made ahead 1 day in advance, covered, and stored at room temperature. Frosting can also be made 1 day in advance, covered, and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.

I made these cupcakes for my son’s birthday – who’s allergic to eggs – and they turned out GREAT!
They’re very light (I’m assuming bc of the lack of eggs) which IMO makes them even yummier… but also more dangerous because you keep eating and eating 😉
We’ll be having a small party this weekend and I can’t wait to try the chocolate cake recipe.
Oriana, I’m so glad I found you!
Hello TTD7! It sounds like you nailed it! Thanks so much for trying my recipe and taking the time to come back and let me know. Happy Birthday to your son 🧁
Can you use the batter for baking a cake instead of cupcake?
Hello! For a cake, I would recommend this recipe: https://mommyshomecooking.com/egg-free-vanilla-cake-recipe/ . Just add 3/4 cup (142g) rainbow sprinkles to the batter. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
Hello! Tried this recipe today, and it tastes very good! I overbaked it, so the top was slightly burnt, but the insides were moist and delicious! Great recipe!
Hello Laura! I’m so glad you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for taking the time to come back and let me know!
Hi Oriana, it’s exciting to find your page of eggless recipes. My family and I don’t do eggs due to religious restrictions. So, I’m always searching and experimenting. So, I tried this funfetti recipe and it’s delicious and just perfect except I found the cupcake a bit on the dry end! I was wondering if it had to do with the constancy of the batter? Any suggestions or tips unless I did something wrong 🤷🏽♀️
Hello Sapna! It’s impossible to say exactly why your cupcakes were dry because there are so many things that can make that happen, overbaking the cupcakes and/or adding to much flour could be a reason. I would suggest measuring the ingredients with a kitchen scale and adjusting the baking time if necessary. Hope you give a try soon again.
Hello! Can you leave the Apple cider vinegar out? Or is there another option?
Hello Januari! You can use regular white vinegar or fresh lemon juice. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)
