Cupcakes
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
- Add lemon juice to the almond milk, stir and set aside.

- Add the almond milk + lemon juice mixture, mix briefly until you have a smooth batter.
- Scoop into the cupcake pan, filling each 3/4 of the way.
- Bake 30-35 minutes at 325°F.
- Cool in the pan 15 minutes, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely (you can chill them to speed this up).
- Once cool, use a cupcake corer or a spoon to create a cavity in the middle of each cupcake and fill with a teaspoon of jam.
