Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup gluten free 1-to-1 flour (recommended: Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking Flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup milk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (recommended: clear vanilla extract for best color)
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • Vanilla Frosting
  • Chocolate Frosting
  • additional sprinkles for decorating

Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Paper liners
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prepare for your batter.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free 1-to-1 flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the room temperature unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and plain Greek yogurt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, blending until smooth.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Using a spatula, gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  8. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Notes

  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze unfrosted cupcakes for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before frosting.
  • Frost only the cupcakes you plan to eat immediately to keep the others fresh.
