Recipe Introduction


Original Recipe by Carrie @ www.gingerlemongirl.com




List of Ingredients




Wet Ingredients

* 1/3 cup Spectrum vegetable shortening
* 1/2 cup applesauce
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup almond milk (or other milk alternative)

Dry Ingredients

* 1/2 cup millet flour
* 1/2 cup sorghum flour
* 1/2 cup tapioca flour
* 2 teaspoons chia seed meal or 1 tbsp. ground flax seeds (I used chia seed meal)
* 2 teaspoons whey protein powder (you can purchase this from a health store)
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt

Administrative Note: Whey powder is not cf.
Carrie's Note: NOTE: * I used chia seed meal and whey protein powder in place of using xanthan gum, which I am trying to avoid using, and also as an egg replacer. You can substitute 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum in place of these ingredients.


Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a cupcake tin with paper liners or spritz with non-stick spray.

In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add applesauce, sugar, and vanilla, and mix thoroughly.

Set aside.

In a medium sized bowl whisk together all dry ingredients.

Add half of the whisked dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix until combined.

Add half of the almond milk and mix until combined.

Add the rest of the dry ingredients, and finally the rest of the almond milk.

Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full with batter.

Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Set cupcakes on wire rack to cool before frosting with your favorite gluten free icing.

You can use a non-dairy whipped topping with gf/cf sprinkles.

Enjoy!!
