Ingredients
1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour blend (add 1 teaspoon xanthan gum if blend lacks it)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2/3 cup milk or non-dairy milk (almond milk preferred)
3 tablespoons light oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted softened butter (vegan butter substitute for dairy-free)
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup gluten-free caramel sauce (soften if needed)
1 to 2 tablespoons water (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
1-Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350ยฐF and line your muffin tin with paper liners for easy baking and removal.
2-Whisk dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, brown sugar, aluminum-free baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3-Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, light oil, and pure vanilla extract until theyโre nicely mixed.
4-Mix wet into dry: Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir just until everything comes together; donโt overmix to keep the cupcakes light.
5-Fill and bake: Fill each lined muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter, then bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6-Cool cupcakes: Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
7-Prepare frosting and frost: For the frosting, whip the softened butter, powdered sugar, gluten-free caramel sauce, and water until itโs fluffy and spreadable, then apply it to the cooled cupcakes.
