Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 pieces Ripe bananas (medium, mashed)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Stir in the milk to create a smooth, pourable batter. If the batter feels too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk as needed.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 7
Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or decorating.
Step 9
Enjoy your gluten-free banana cupcakes as-is or top with your favorite frosting!
