Can You Use Butter Instead Of Oil When Making Gluten Free Cupcakes?

Yes! In a cupcake recipe butter and oil both do the same thing, they add flavor and moisture to the batter. You can replace oil for butter at a 1:1 ratio. That means you can use the same amount of butter as the amount of oil the recipe calls for. So if the recipe requires 1 cup of oil you would replace it with one cup of melted butter.

Always melt the butter before putting it in the batter, if you are replacing butter with oil. The only time you would use cold butter as an oil replacement is if the original recipe wanted you to “cut in” cold coconut oil.

What Is A Good Egg Replacement When Making Gluten Free Cupcakes?

There are tons of great egg replacements that are good for gluten free cupcake recipes. Here is a list of my favorites!

  • 1/4 cup of yogurt per egg
  • 1/4 cup of applesauce per egg
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil per egg
  • 1 tbsp of disolved ager ager per egg
  • 1 tbsp of disolved gelatin per egg
  • Commercial egg replacement like just egg
  • Flax Egg: mix 1 tbsp of ground flaxseeds with 3 tbsp of water until it’s thickened
  • Chia Egg: mix 1 tbsp of ground chia seeds with 3 tbsp of water until it’s thickened

What do eggs do in gluten free cupcake baking?

Holding Ingredients Together: Eggs bring everyone closer by helping combine all of the ingredients in the batter and bind it all together.

This is especially important in gluten free baking since gluten is what holds baked goods together. When you take gluten away from the baked good they fall apart. This is where the egg or other binder comes in to keep your cupcakes from crumbling.

Moisture: Eggs provide moisture to the cupcake batter. No one likes a dry cupcake.

Rising: Also known as leavening. Eggs help make cupcakes rise while they bake!

What Is The Best Way To Measure Gluten Free Flour?

The best way to measure gluten free flour to make cupcakes is to scoop the dry flour into a spoon and then to dump it into a measuring cup that has been balanced on a cooking scale. Once the flour is in a measuring cup use the back of a knife to level it off. This is the most accurate way to measure gluten free flour for two reasons:

  • By filling it into a cup you make sure that you don’t tightly pack the measuring cup. If a recipe calls for 1/4th cup of flour and you push the flour into the cup it will look like 1/4 cup but it will actually be more!
  • Weight is simply the most accurate way to measure any type of ingredient. If the recipe you’re using doesn’t have weight measurements simply use the first part of the measuring method without the scale.

Why Did My Gluten Free Cupcakes Explode?

Sigh, if your gluten free cupcakes exploded it could be due to a few reasons.

  1. You used too much baking soda or baking powder.
  2. You overfilled the cupcake trays. Make sure to only fill them 1/3rd the way to the top.

What Causes Gluten Free Cupcakes to Sink?

Ugh there is very little in this world more disappointing than a sinkhole in the middle of your lovely cupcake. Well, you can make it look better by adding more frosting on the top :). I’m hoping that if you know what causes cupcakes to sink you won’t make these mistakes!

  1. If you over beat the batter you will mix too much air into the cupcake mix. While the cupcake will look fine before you put it in the oven all of the extra gas will come out of the cupcake leaving a valley.
  2. Too wet. If you add too much moisture to the cupcake batter they’ll sink. The batter should be wet but not runny. This is more common in humid climates.
  3. If you live in a high altitude the baking soda or baking powder works twice as hard. This can cause the

How Do You Make Gluten Free Cupcakes Moist?

Baking with gluten free ingredients can be dry and crumbly. This is because gluten is the protein structure that holds baked goods together. To over compensate for the dry crumbly nature of gluten free cupcakes you need to add more moisture with extra fat. Add extra butter, oil, eggs or milk to make sure the batter looks like wet sand before you put it in the oven to bake.

Is Frosting Gluten Free?

Frosting should not have gluten in it but you would be surprised that some frosting does have gluten. If the frosting uses wheat paste or flour as a thickener it has gluten. The best way to make sure your icing is gluten free is to check the label or make your own at home. The recipes in this post all have recipes for gluten free cupcake icing.
