Ingredients

  • 5/8 cup milk, at room temperature
  • 3 ¾ teaspoons lemon juice
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 egg whites, room temperature
  • 2 lemons, zested
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/8 cups gluten-free flour (such as Jeanne's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix; recipe in footnotes)
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.

Step 2
Whisk milk and lemon juice together in a bowl. Beat vegetable oil, egg whites, lemon zest, and vanilla extract into milk mixture.

Step 3
Combine gluten-free baking flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until batter is well mixed, about 2 minutes. Spoon batter into lined cups to about 3/4-full.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until tops are a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool cupcakes in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips

Store unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag in the freezer for up to one month or in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
