Ingredients for Allergen Free Mini Cupcakes

  • Gluten Free Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ripe medium banana
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup rice milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Allergen Free Mini Cupcakes

  1. Combine 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. Once the flaxseed mixture has thickened, add 1 ripe medium banana and blend until completely smooth.
  3. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  5. Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup olive oil, and ½ cup rice milk to the dry ingredients.
  6. Gently fold in the blended flaxseed and banana mixture.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Using a low speed mixer, beat the batter until all ingredients are just combined.
  9. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for about 1 minute, or until the batter is smooth.
  10. Fill each mini muffin cup about ¾ full.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Frost with your favorite allergen-free frosting!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
