Classic Gluten Free

The Best Gluten-Free Lemon Cupcakes

These gluten free lemon cupcakes have a tender crumb and are full of bright lemon flavor. Bonus – they’re really easy to make, no stand mixer required!

These lemon cupcakes get their bright lemon flavor from THREE sources of lemon flavor – fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and a little bit of lemon extract

That lemon extract gives these that little extra lemon flavor that you can’t get from just the juice and zest alone. It’s what truly makes these seem like a bakery-style cupcakes.
