Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour see notes
  • 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum omit if your flour blend contains it
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
  • 1 large Egg room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Milk room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Avocado Oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Butter Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a standard muffin pan with 12 paper liners or spray with non-stick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour, xanthan gum, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, milk, oil, vanilla extract, and butter extract. Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups and bake for 18-22 minutes or until done.
  • Remove from the baking pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • When cool, frost with frosting of choice.

Notes

  1. For dairy free, use plain dairy free yogurt in place of the sour cream, use unsweetened coconut milk in place of the regular milk, and reduce the xanthan gum to 1/4 teaspoon.
  2. Canola or vegetable oil can be used in place of avocado oil.
  3. I use my Nightshade-Free flour blend in this recipe.
