Instructions

  1. Sift dry ingredients together into a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients.
  3. Make a well in the dry ingredients, add the liquid ingredients in the well and mix with wire whisk until just combined.
  4. Place cupcake liners into cupcake/muffin pan and fill each with about 1/4 cup of the cupcake batter until it is gone.
  5. Bake at 375 for 15 min. Lower temp to 350 and bake an additional 5min.
  6. Allow to cool 5 to 10 min and transfer to wire rack.
  7. Makes 12 cupcakes. The tops turn out more like muffins but the inside and taste are spot on like a cupcake especially once you add icing.

Vanilla Frosting

  1. Using the whisk attachment on your hand mixer combine the first 3 ingredients and whisk on high until creamy icing consistency is achieved, approximately 5 minutes.
  2. Turn mixer to low and slowly add arrowroot starch. Whisk for another minute or two.
  3. If piping icing, put the icing into a piping bag and place it in the fridge for 5 min before piping.

Notes

The tops turn out more like muffins but the inside and taste are spot on like a cupcake especially once you add icing.

The texture is even better the second day, so they're a great treat to make in advance.

Freezer Friendly - freeze for 15-20 mins on a baking sheet and then store in an air-tight container, removing as much air as possible. Defrost overnight for best texture.
