How to Make Gluten Free Banana Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, 1 ½ teaspoons xanthan gum, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon cake enhancer.
  3. In a blender, combine ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg, 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium), and ¼ cup milk.
  4. Blend until smooth.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat on low speed until just combined.
  6. If the batter seems too dry, gradually add the remaining milk (up to ¼ cup more), beating until smooth.
  7. Continue beating on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  8. Fill cupcake liners about ¾ full using a large ice cream scoop or spoon.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cool, frost with your favorite frosting (recipe #70900 recommended) and garnish with chopped peanuts.
