In this recipe, we use gluten-free flour blends and natural vanilla extract to ensure that these cupcakes are both gluten-free and delicious. Let’s dive into the ingredients and instructions to make these irresistible gluten-free vanilla cupcakes.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cupcakes dense.
- Scoop the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can frost these gluten-free vanilla cupcakes with your favorite frosting or toppings. We recommend a simple vanilla buttercream or a creamy vanilla bean frosting to enhance the delicious vanilla flavor. Enjoy these delightful gluten-free treats at your next gathering or as a sweet treat for yourself!
