Orange and Coconut Cupcakes

Sweet baked treats are easy to miss out on when your are GFCF and yeast free.  Although there are some palatable items out there, the cost of these treats is somewhat exorbident. 

Motivated by my recent run in with the flu, I set about to make some GFCF muffins from scratch (without a recipe to guide me).  I considered all things that made normal muffins taste good and went from there.  What we ended up with were delightful fluffy cupcakes!

Ingredients:

2 cups self raising GF flour
1 desert spoon GF baking powder
2/3 cup castor sugar
1 desert spoon orange essence
1 desert spoon coconut essence
2 eggs
1 cup GF soy milk
6 desert spoons vegetable oil

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius
Place muffin patties in muffin tin
Mix all ingredients into a smooth mixture
Fill each patty to about 3/4 full
Bake in over for 15-20 minutes
Remove and enjoy!

For an extra treat - drop 1 teasoon of blackberry jam into the centre of each mufin patties after filling 3/4 the way with mixture. Bake the same way for a nice jam filled treat!
