Blueberry Cupcakes – Vegan & Gluten-Free
Vegan and gluten-free cupcakes – I did not think about them for very long. Today my grandpa came and reminded me of delicious cupcakes my grandma used to make for us. Although I have made gluten-free bread before and my family loved them, it was quite challenging to make soft, not too sweet, vegan and gluten-free cupcakes, that would also be liked by my grandpa. I bake cupcakes frequently, as they are simple and quick to make. In addition, blueberries are my grandpa’s favorite berries so I decided to make blueberry cupcakes for him, and why not? My grandpa wanted them! 🙂
Well, here is the recipe that will make up about twelve cupcakes.
Ingredients:
| almond flour | 1 c. |
| Rice flour, tapioca starch and potato starch | 1/2 c. each |
| Sugar | 3/4 cup |

| grated lemon zest | 1/2 tsp. |
| canola + grapeseed oil | Scant 1/2 c. |
| rice milk (put 3 tbsp aside for egg replacer) | 1 c. |
| egg replacer mixed with 3 tbsp of the rice milk | 2 tsp. |
