Gluten and Dairy Free Vanilla Cupcakes

Gluten and dairy free vanilla cupcakes with raspberry icing

This recipe is excellent if you are cooking for a crowed! Being unsure these days on peoples dietary requirements, with two of the most common food allergies being gluten and dairy. 

These light fluffy vanillary goodness cupcakes are a reasonably safe choice hopefully pleasing everyone. You could hardly tell the difference between those containing milk and wheat flour.

Although they contain butter and sugar, using good quality fat and raw unrefined sugar means better health. After all not everyone likes "everything free" treats!

Unrefined meaning that the minerals and nutrients have not been removed from the juice of the sugar cane plant.  

In fact per 150g, it has on average 40 calories less in comparison to caster sugar.

And if I don’t mind saying myself, they are DELICIOUS!

Enjoy...

I used raspberry royal icing on mine. You can use any icing you want though! On my previous coconut butter muffin post you can find the recipe there. ALL you do it wiz together however many raspberries you want, depending on how pink you want the mixture and add it to the base mixture instead of the colour free food colouring. 

Easy
