Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the pure vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about 2/3 full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once cooled, you may frost the mini cupcakes with your favorite gluten-free frosting, if desired.
