Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcakes

Ingredients (Makes 12 cupcakes):

• 1 ½ cups (180g) gluten-free flour
• ¾ cup (150g) granulated erythritol
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• ¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened applesauce
• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   Whisk together the gluten-free flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.

3. Create Vegan Buttermilk:
   In a small bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes to curdle slightly.

4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   Add the applesauce and vanilla extract to the buttermilk, then stir.

5. Mix the Batter:
   Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.

6. Bake:
   Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool:
   Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Frost:                                                                                                                                            Once cooled, spread or pipe a generous dollop of coconut yogurt on top of each cupcake.
