DAIRY FREE ZUCCHINI VANILLA CUPCAKE RECIPE

dairy free zucchini vanilla cupcake recipe

Hi guys,

I hope your week is going on just fine. This week I decided to revisit a recipe I used to make but then kind of neglected it for a while. As I had said before in my other post here, my son is allergic to milk and we thought it would have disappeared once he turned 2 then three and now he is almost four but clearly it’s just chilling on the side lines saying “Am still here” and will not disappear anytime soon. I found this recipe that my son loves from the cook yourself thin book and just in case I forgot to mention, it’s not only dairy free but fat free too. So if you need a low calorie treat, then this recipe is for you. This is a dairy free zucchini vanilla cupcake recipe. (Updated pictures)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 cup ground almonds

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

METHOD

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees/176 degrees.
  • Line your pan with 12 cupcake liners.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and almonds then set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar,vanilla and salt with a handheld mixer or any mixer you have until thick and light coloured.
  • Beat in the zucchini until fully incorporated
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix them all together and ensure that there are no lumps.
  • Divide them equally into the cupcake pans using a spoon or an ice cream scoop.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes and turn the pans midway while baking.
  • When a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean, transfer them to a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Serve and enjoy.
