Ingredients
  

Vanilla Cupcakes:

  • 1 2/3 cups gluten-free flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free sour cream
  • 3/4 cup dairy-free milk (we use almond or coconut)
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp whole psyllium husk

Strawberry Buttercream:

  • 4 large strawberries
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free butter (at room temp)
  • 3-4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp dairy-free milk (we use almond milk)

Instructions
 

Vanilla Cupcakes:

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees & line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine all ingredients & mix until well combined. Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpick put in center comes out clean. Let cool on wire rack completely before frosting however you’d like.

Strawberry Buttercream Frosting:

  • In a food processor, blender, or stand mixer pulse the strawberries until pureed. Add butter, vanilla, and 2 cups sugar. Mix until well combined, then add milk & mix. Add in small amounts of powdered sugar, mixing after each addition, to reach desired consistency. Frosting should be smooth & soft, yet hold its shape.

Notes

No allergies? Just sub everything for regular flour & regular dairy products.
Frosting: You can sub strawberries for about 1/4 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, mango, pineapple, or raspberries!
Stores great in sealed container in refrigerator for up to a week. Or freeze frosted cupcakes for up to a month!
