I am a chocolate girl. I love Chocolate Cake.

I'll take on a baking challenge anytime.  I needed a good gluten free and vegan cupcake recipe.

Did. Not. Sound. Easy.

I make and change recipes several times over before I think it's perfect. My friends and family are Baking Guinea Pigs. I've heard it's not a bad job.

Ingredients

Cupcakes
1 Cup 1:1 Gluten Free Flour (Use your favorite brand)
1 Cup Gluten Free Oat Flour
1/4 cup Coconut Flour
1 1/4 cups gluten free cane sugar

1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Pumpkin Cupcakes

1. Preheat oven to 350.  Or, convection oven to 325. Line 18 muffin tins with 18 cupcake liners.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (Listed above from flour - cloves).

3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (Listed above from pumpkin puree - vanilla).

4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk together until just combined.

5. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 of batter. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.  They may cook quicker in a convection oven, mine were done in 14 minutes.

6. Allow to cool before topping with vegan cream cheese frosting.
