Gluten Free Red Velvet Cupcakes Recipe

Hi Everyone! I’m Taryn from, and I blog about crafts, DIY projects, home decor and gluten-free recipes! I am thrilled to be visiting The Frugal Girls today.  Heidi is such a sweetheart and all of YOU are amazing.

About 2.5 years ago, I found out I was gluten-intolerant, egg-intolerant AND soy-intolerant

Boy, what a lifestyle change!

So even though I was so thankful to finally feel healthy, I was devastated at the thought of never having freshly baked cookies or piece of chocolate cake again. Once I adjusted to my new eating habits, I made it my goal to learn how to bake for myself again and not only make something edible, but make something that tasted DELICIOUS.

Trust me, I’ve eaten a lot of not-so-good gluten-free products so I was determined!  I’ve learned a lot over the years and I’m so excited to share with you today my Gluten-Free Red Velvet Mini Cupcakes! Just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Whether you eat gluten-free or bake for someone who is, you won’t want to miss this one.

Gluten-Free Red Velvet Mini Cupcakes Recipe

This decadent Gluten Free Red Velvet Cupcakes Recipe is such a delicious way to enjoy your favorite treat... without the gluten!

Cook Time15 mins

Course: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Servings: 75

Author: Taryn

Ingredients

For the cupcakes:

• 2½ cups Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour I prefer Bob’s Red Mill
• 1½ cups oil
• 1½ cups sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 4½ tsp of Ener-G Egg Replacer + ¼ cup water or 3 eggs
• 2 Tbs. cocoa powder
• 1 tsp. Baking soda
• 1 tsp. Xanthan gum
• 2 tsp. GF Vanilla
• 2 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 oz. Red food coloring
• ⅛ cup water

For the Frosting:

• 6 oz Cream cheese
• ½ cup butter at room temperature
• 2 Tbs. Buttermilk
• 1 tsp. GF Vanilla
• 2 cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix oil, sugar, eggs, vinegar, vanilla, food coloring and water together.
• In a separate bowl sift dry ingredients together, then slowly add it to the wet mixture.
• Nest, place the cupcake liners into the tray and fill 3/4 the way full.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until you can pull a toothpick out and it stays clean.
• While cupcakes are cooling make the cream cheese frosting.
• Using a hand mixer, blend the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and buttermilk together until smooth.
• Slowly add the powdered sugar into the mixture.
• Put the frosting into a plastic bag that seals and then cut one of the corners off to create a decorating tip (or use a piping bag if you have one).
• Apply the frosting to the cupcake in a circular motion (if you choose to do the decorative frosting, I would double the recipe. If you are just going to apply one layer then you will have plenty)

I went to the dollar store and found these cute cupcake liners, I got 100 for $1. I also found these adorable heart stickers and thought they would make cute cupcake toppers. To make them, I simply put two heart stickers back to back and placed the toothpick in the middle.

So easy, inexpensive and just added a whole new look to the cupcakes.

These red velvet mini cupcakes would make a great addition to a Valentine’s Day party or gathering. They are the perfect bite size dessert.

So if you are gluten-free or know someone who is, you can view all of my recipes here.

A big thank you to Heidi for having me over today! I would love for you to stop by and say ‘hi’ sometime. You can find me here, or on Facebook, Twitter, and what would we do without Pinterest! 

Cheers,  Taryn
