Gluten-free Cupcakes
You'll love these gluten-free cupcakes for their delightful vanilla flavor and moist texture, catering to a gluten-free diet. With a simple mix of pantry staples, this recipe comes together effortlessly, offering a quick and easy way to enjoy delicious homemade treats!
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Avoid overbaking.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, you can frost them however you like! I prefer a simple vegan vanilla frosting. Betty Crocker, Pillsbury and Duncan Hines all have a great vegan option!
