I’m obsessed with cupcakes and gingerbread cookies so it only made sense to bake some gingerbread cupcakes. During the holidays I like to bake all kinds of baked goods. Gluten-free, keto-friendly, sugar-free, and etc. It’s important that no one feels left out during the holidays.
For these gluten-free gingerbread cupcakes, I used Bob’s Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour and Super Fine Almond Flour. Bob’s Red Mill offers the largest lines of organic, whole grain foods in the country. All of their products are certified Kosher and made with ingredients grown from non-GMO seeds.
Although cookies are the most popular holiday treats, I guarantee you these gluten-free gingerbread cupcakes will be the star of the night! These cupcakes are incredibly soft and moist and the entire family will love them.
