Gluten-Free Funfetti Cupcakes
I’m just here to have fun.
Funfetti, that is. You like that one? My brain is a rolodex of puns and cheesy lines. In high school, Betty Crocker funfetti cake was a regular in my house. I never knew a slumber party without a baked good. And besides the french vanilla cake (which was a close contender to the funfetti), sprinkles often made an appearance in my kitchen.
When I was 7, I ate a bowl of sprinkles.
It was a proud day. No regrets, absolutely none. I’ll always remember my babysitter—Emily—who gave in to my convincing plea for a bowl of processed sugar and food-colored carnauba wax She was the real MVP, let’s get it straight. Fun(fetti) fact: I used to put sprinkles in literally everything imaginable. Waffles, pancakes, cookies, ice cream, donuts. I was like the grandma in the Tobasco commercial: I put that shit on everything.
Namaste Foods has the best variety of flours and baking needs.
The only lines I do are the lines of Namaste Foods products I have in my pantry. Currently, I have their millet, quinoa, sorghum, and sweet brown rice flour, as well as a few bags of their egg-replacer mix. If you’re not into baking from scratch, then GTFO. No, I’m totally kidding. They have a bunch of different boxed mixes too. P.S. they’re mainly top 8 allergen free. Hello, school bake sales!
