Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4).
Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, chipotle powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt, sugar, nondairy milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Stir gently to combine, but avoid overmixing.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool completely on a wire rack before decorating or serving.
