Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone or parchment paper cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine the unsweetened applesauce, non-dairy milk, water, vanilla extract, and neutral-flavored oil. Whisk until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a patty cake comes out clean.
Remove the patty cakes 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 frost with an allergen-friendly frosting of your choice for a sweeter treat. Enjoy!
