0These gluten free dairy free chocolate cupcakes are a perfect alternative for those with allergies. Plus they taste delicious.
Last week I had a friend who wanted gluten free chocolate cupcakes. I like to make them with a blend of gluten free flours and then top it off with dairy free chocolate ganache and dairy free vanilla frosting. I could have made her gluten free magic bars but I decided on cupcakes.
There are lots of flours on the market but I prefer to make mine with a blend of flours. I have tried boxed cupcakes from the grocery store, but I don’t really like the texture. So I tried several blends and several brands and came up with this homemade blend.
Gluten Free and Dairy Free
One thing I have noticed about gluten free cupcakes is that they don’t last as long as regular cupcakes and they are also a little moister and don’t stick to the cupcake wrapper as well. My tip for this is to fill them a little more than you would regular cupcakes and take them out of the pan right away so they don’t get more condensation on them. I don’t know why this happens but I like to take my cupcakes out and put then in airtight containers and it doesn’t work as well with gluten free. So let them cool completely first.
- 1¼ cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1 cups white granulated cane sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk
- ½ cup warm water
- ⅓ cup sunflower or canola oil
- 1 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line 12 - 14 cupcake with cupcake liners
- In large mixing bowl sift flour blend, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In Stand mixer combine coconut milk, water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Add in the sifted dry ingredients. and beat for 1 minute.
- Evenly distribute into cupcake liners. Bake for 20 minutes. Test for doneness.
- Remove from oven and carefully take out of cupcake pans and let cool.

Looks yummy! I’ve been struggling with finding the right balance of flours for gluten free cakes so this is very helpful. I’ll also try your suggestion of letting them cool completely before putting them in the container as I’ve been having the same issues.

Ah, I have a trick I can share with you about the wrappers! A friend of mine discovered that aluminum wrappers don't stick to gluten-free cupcakes and muffins like the paper wrappers do.
