Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated cane sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free all-purpose baking flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Frosting

  • 2-3 cups buttercream frosting

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it's ready when your batter is prepared.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, oil, melted butter, milk, and sugar using an electric mixer until fully combined and slightly fluffy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Carefully add the gluten free all-purpose baking flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Beat until a smooth batter forms. Remember to spoon and level the flour instead of scooping directly from the bag to maintain accurate measurements.
  4. Let Batter Sit: Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes. This helps the dry ingredients absorb moisture properly, resulting in better texture and even baking.
  5. Fill Muffin Tray: Using a cookie scoop, ice cream scoop, or regular spoon, fill lined muffin trays about three-quarters full with the batter to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 16-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Around 19 minutes is ideal but times may vary depending on your oven.
  7. Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tray for 10 minutes to set. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
  8. Frost and Serve: Once cooled, spread or pipe the buttercream frosting generously over the cupcakes. Serve and enjoy your delicious gluten free treat!

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Spoon and level gluten free flour correctly to avoid dense cupcakes.
  • You can use dairy or non-dairy milk depending on dietary preference.
  • Buttercream frosting can be homemade or store-bought based on convenience.
  • Baking times can vary, so start checking for doneness at 16 minutes.
