Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that's normal.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost the cupcakes with your favorite gluten-free icing once they are completely cool, if desired, and enjoy!
