These cupcakes are amazingly delicious! My son can't eat gluten as it gives him eczema so I am always trialling new recipes so he can eat things that don't actually taste like they are gluten free. A lot of the time gluten free recipes have a strange texture or after taste. These cupcakes are like the real thing! Just without the gluten!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour (I used Aldi brand)
1/2 cup almond meal or any other seed meal such as sunflower to make them nut free
1/2 cup cocoa
3/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder (I used Bobs Red Mill Aluminium Free)
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup cocoa
3/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder (I used Bobs Red Mill Aluminium Free)
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
1 egg
1 cup milk
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 180'c
Mix together all dry ingredients with a whisk
In a separate bowl, mix together all wet ingredients with a whisk
Make a hole in the centre of the dry ingredients and add in the wet ingredients
Pour into prepared cupcake tin & patties
Bake for around 20-25mins, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean
Top with your favourite icing if you like. They are actually so yummy they don't even need the icing!
For these I made a ganache with sour cream & dark chocolate. 250grams dark chocolate, 250mls sour cream.
Enjoy!
