Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Place the oven rack in the center position and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten free 1-to-1 flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to cream the room-temperature unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated. Then add the milk, plain Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed until smooth.
- Reduce the mixer to low speed and add the dry ingredients. Mix just until the flour mixture is incorporated and no large streaks remain; do not overmix. Scrape the bowl as needed.
- Let the batter rest for 20 minutes (this helps hydrate the gluten-free flour).
- Using a spatula, gently fold the 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles into the batter until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the lined muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake on the center rack for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and cool completely before decorating.
- Once completely cooled, frost with Vanilla Frosting or Chocolate Frosting and decorate with additional sprinkles as desired.
Notes
Frosting options: Vanilla Frosting, Chocolate Frosting, and additional sprinkles for decorating.
