Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and place rack in middle of oven
  • Place cupcake baking liners in 12–cupcake baking pan or grease with vegetable shortening
  • Beat sugar and eggs in large bowl of electric mixer with flat paddle or whisk at medium speed
  • Add low-FODMAP, gluten-free flour, salt, baking powder, xanthan gum, oil, low-FODMAP milk and vanilla; beat at medium speed for 1 minute
  • Pour batter into prepared pans
    • Fill cupcakes about 2/3 fill (do not overfill or they won’t cook properly and will spill over the sides)
  • Place in center of oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until center springs back to touch and cake is very lightly browned, tester in center comes out clean
  • Cool on rack for 5 minutes
  • Remove cupcakes from pans onto rack and cool completely before icing
    • Popping them out of the pan is an important step to ensure they don’t overbake and dry out
  • Top with your favorite frosting from all my delicious low-FODMAP frosting recipes on the blog– I have tons to choose from, and any sprinkles or low-FODMAP decorations you desire

So moist and delicious!
