1

Gather the Ingredients

To make these scrumptious Easter Egg Cupcakes, you'll need the following: 1 3/4 cups of gluten-free flour blend, 1 teaspoon of baking powder (gluten-free), 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (softened), 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 3/4 cup of buttermilk, and some colorful sprinkles for decoration.

2

Preheat the Oven

It's time to preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C). Get it nice and toasty for your cupcakes!

3

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure to mix well to evenly distribute the leavening agents.

4

Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until you have a fluffy, light mixture. This helps to incorporate air into the batter and create a tender cupcake.

5

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mixing well after each addition ensures that everything is properly incorporated and adds a tasty flavor to your cupcakes.

6

Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Buttermilk

Now, it's time to add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the butter and sugar mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing after each addition. This helps to create a smooth batter with the perfect consistency.

7

Fill Cupcake Liners

Line your cupcake pan with paper liners and spoon the batter evenly into each liner. Fill about two-thirds full to allow room for the cupcakes to rise.

8

Bake and Cool

Pop those cupcakes into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 18-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them and insert a toothpick into the center of one cupcake to check if it comes out clean, which means they're ready. Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool completely.

9

Decorate with Easter Eggs

Once the cupcakes have cooled, it's time to get creative and add some joyful decorations. Use colorful sprinkles to represent Easter eggs on top of each cupcake. Arrange them in any pattern or design you like!
