Notes

  1. I have tested this recipe with Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 GF blend and Authentic Foods Multi Blend in this recipe. That doesn't mean others will not work, I just have not tested other flours.
  2. If your gluten free flour blend doesn’t contain Xanthan Gum or Guar Gum, please add 1 teaspoon.
  3. To make these nut-free, omit the almond flour and substitute an extra 2/3 cup of gluten free flour blend. Also, use nut-free non-dairy milk.
  4. These cupcakes will keep up to 3 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.
  5. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cupcake. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done baking. If you see batter or crumbs, the cupcakes need to bake longer.
  6. Adding Halloween candy on the frosting is optional.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
