Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth and well blended.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Slowly add the boiling water to the batter, whisking gently until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin but that’s normal.
Gently fold in the gluten-free semisweet chocolate chips to add a touch of indulgence to each cupcake.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve as is or top with your favorite gluten-free frosting for an extra sweet treat!
