4 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups organic vegan sugar or granulated sugar
1 cup canola oil
2 eggs, room temperature

4.In a medium bowl combine the almond milk, food coloring, vanilla and vinegar.
5.To the stand mixer slowly incorporate 1/3 of the dry ingredients followed by 1/3 of the milk mixture. Continue to alternate adding dry and wet ingredients until everything is combined and the batter just comes together. The batter will be very sticky and heavy.
6.With an ice cream scoop add the batter to each liner, filling it 2/3 of the way up. Bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Remove cupcakes from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer cupcakes from the tins and place on a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.

2 8-ounce packages Neufchâtel cream cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup finely ground gluten-free cinnamon sugar cookies
1.In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream together the cream cheese on medium speed for 1 minute. Slowly add the lemon zest and juice, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and mix until well incorporated. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Turn the machine back on low speed and slowly add the powdered sugar. Continue to beat the mixture until everything is incorporated.
2.Place the frosting in a piping bag fitted with a small, round tip. Place the tip into the center of each cupcake creating a hole and fill the center with frosting. Once all the cupcakes are filled pipe frosting on the top of the cupcakes. Sprinkle with ground cookie crumbs.
