Are you looking for the perfect yellow cupcake recipe that yields moist, delicious, and easy to frost cupcakes? This.is.it!
My youngest turns four this week, and I can’t help but wonder, where did the time go? How did it pass so fast? When I asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday, he said he wanted to frost cupcakes with his siblings. So, today I invite you to check out this easy video where my “baby” and I make yellow cupcakes together.
For today’s recipe, I’ve partnered with Bob’s Red Mill to make these cupcakes from my cookbook, The Best Homemade Kids’ Lunches on the Planet. In this video, I answered the most frequently asked questions regarding which flour to use when baking to yield fluffy and soft cakes and cupcakes.
I’m a big fan of Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-Free Baking Flour when I want to make a recipe that can accommodate my other son’s gluten-free needs. I love that they have a dedicated 100% gluten-free facility, so it’s one brand that I often recommend my readers use. Plus, their baking flour makes amazing cupcakes, cakes, pancakes, waffles, and cookies, for example.
When baking with regular flour, I typically use their all-purpose flour for moist baked goods. I know some of you want to make recipes with whole-wheat flour, so for baking, you want to look for “whole-wheat pastry flour” on the label. The “pastry” means that it comes from white whole-wheat and when milled it’s a much finer and softer flour than regular whole-wheat flour. Regular whole-wheat flour comes from red whole-wheat kernels and will yield dense baked goods (especially cakes).
I am often asked by my readers how do I adapt my “original” recipes to suit my gluten-free needs (both my middle son and I don’t eat gluten). My answer is always the same: find a great all-purpose gluten-free flour and stick to that one brand. The more you use it, the more you’ll become familiar with any modifications you might need to make in your recipes.
So these cupcakes. They are the perfect yellow cupcake recipe. I prefer the rich, buttery taste in my baked cakes and cupcakes rather than oil. With this recipe, you’ll never have to buy boxed yellow cake again. I modified this recipe so it would come together in a single bowl, as opposed to a two bowl wonder. The fewer dirty dishes in the sink, the better.
Of course, my kids love to frost anything, and since I’m a recipe purist at heart, I chose an easy buttercream frosting for the recipe.
Whether you are celebrating a birthday or baking delicious cupcakes for your family and friends, I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my children have.
What’s your favorite thing to bake?
Perfectly Birthday Yellow Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Bob’s Red Mill Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour, sifted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 350° F (180°C). Line standard cupcake pan with paper liners.
- In the bowl of your standing mixer, add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla; beat at medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl with rubber a spatula and mix by hand until smooth and no flour pockets remain.
- Divide thick batter evenly among cups (about ⅔ full) of prepared tin. Bake until cupcake tops are pale gold and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 22 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool down for five minutes before removing them from the pan and transferring to a wire rack. Cool cupcakes to room temperature before frosting.
Notes
The batter will be thick, so I found that the easiest way to scoop into liners is by using an ice cream scoop.
Make these gluten-free by using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour. They come out wonderfully!

Lisette
Do you use whole milk, 2% or non fat Greek yogurt?
Laura Fuentes
I usually buy 2% Greek yogurt. Enjoy!
vanessa
Hello, could I use oil instead of butter?
Laura Fuentes
you could, would change the flavor a bit. Enjoy!
Lori McGinley
I love making “dump” cake. It uses pineapple, pie filling and a butter-yellow cake mix. I am looking forward to trying a more healthy version with Bob’s!
Jen
Laura, I’m hoping to use this delicious sounding recipe to make my son’s birthday cake. Could I make this into a cake instead of cupcakes? Would I just increase the cooking time a bit? Thanks for any help you can provide!
Laura Fuentes
Hi Jen! Yes, you can make this into two 9″ rounds. Same baking temperature, about 27-ish minutes, until it’s golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Kelli
I love to bake anything pumpkin, muffins, brownies, bread. You name it!
Christine aka happyvballgirl
Your cupcakes are gorgeous! Hmmmm, what would I bake? I’ve been in the mood for some of your yummy blueberry muffins. Those and these cupcakes, of course! 🙂
Mari
Bobs red mill really is the best. We like their gluten free flour. But recently we’ve been grain free and their baking soda and arrowroot powder and tapioca starch are all key to making anything decent. Paleo Mexican chocolate cake beats any gluten filled concoction hands down!!!
Becky
There are lots of things I enjoy baking, but by sheer volume what I make the most are whole grain mini muffins for my kids’ (mostly my kids’) snacks. The ones I make most often are pumpkin spelt (Bob’s Red Mill) with chocolate chips, and cinnamon raisin. They also like peanut/soy nut butter banana muffins, but we go through bananas really fast and don’t often have the overripe ones we need to make them.
Ingrid
I love baking cookies, maybe because the dough is so good to eat as I’m baking! I’ve sometimes eaten so much dough by the time the cookies are done that I don’t want any!
Gina
I LOVE baking.. Anything. 🙂 But especially cookies, muffins, cakes, and brownies. Basically anything sweet! My husband enjoys baking as well, so we bake together most of the time, which is a lot of fun for us. We love trying new recipes, and sharing our favorites with our family and friends. Over the last few years I’ve developed some food sensitivities, gluten being one of them. Since having to be gluten free Bob’s Red Mill Flours have helped make my transition to gluten free much easier and definitely more tasty then I thought possible. I especially love his buckwheat, sorghum, and almond flours. A heartfelt thank you to you Laura for also helping me on my food journey over the last couple of years. Your recipes and advice have really blessed our home. Many blessings to you.
Lisa
Banana bread, pumpkin muffins, and blueberry muffins, all from scratch, are my favorites to bake. I believe that is mostly because of how they make the house smell while cooking them! I will try Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 Gluten-free baking mix next time, as I actually just saw it yesterday at new local WM market. I just feel better eating gluten-free. Thanks for the post & the fun cupcake mix recipes.
Dinah
I love baking brownies — my mom’s recipe!
Kelly
I love baking pumpkin cake, homemade cinnamon rolls, and chocolate chip cookies! I love Bob’s Red Mill Flours! So glad they make gluten free flours!
Tanya W
I love baking oatmeal muffins and chocolate chip cookies 🙂 My daughter is wheat sensitive so I often use Bob’s Red Mill Spelt flour for her baking. Can’t wait to try these cupcakes!
lisa franklin
love to make pancakes, healthy ranger cookies with white whole wheat flour and walnuts, and cookies and cakes of all kinds. apple cake a favorite.
Lisa T.
I am so glad you are encouraging people to make homemade food, not awful box mixes. Really, who wants to eat a “cake” that has been sitting in a box with a shelf life of three or more years? It’s so artificial and cloyingly sweet. Homemade food is healthier, less expensive, and tastes infinitely better than any store-bought mix. Besides, there is nothing homier than cooking real food for people you love. Good for you, Laura, for all your efforts and great recipes!
Laura Fuentes
thank you Lisa! I encourage people to do their best. And yes, homemade is best. If you can learn short cuts, then great!
Sonia S
I love baking cookies and cupcakes using alternative flours (coconut, almond, brown rice, arrowroot and tapioca flours).
Bridget W
I love baking cakes! Every year my husband and kids pick a cake for their birthdays and I find a recipe and go to town! A couple weeks ago i found an amazing spice cake recipe for my husband’ s birthday. I have only used Bob’s granola on my yogurt, but we love it and can’t wait to start using his other products.
Jen
I have to pick a favorite?!? Well then it would have to be cookies. We love to have family bake-offs in our house. It’s a lot of fun figuring out what we are going to bake and then tasting everyone’s “entries”.
Amy
Cookies!!
Karen
My kids love the basics and it’s quick – whole wheat chocolate chip banana muffins.
Megan Combs
I love Bob’s gluten free flour and corn bread mix! I have also tried the gluten free pizza crust and like it too as did the kids!
Melissa
I love to bake healthy breakfast goodies (like a no added sugar whole wheat carrot cake and whole grain protein breakfast cookies) for my family. I grind my own wheat and alternative flours and like to experiment with almond and coconut flours as well.
Jennifer
I use Bob’s Red Mill arrowroot powder and coconut flour. I have baked muffins and pumpkin bars with their ingredients. We eat the quinoa also.
Sarah L
My favorite things to bake are muffins and homemade pizzas!
Kathleen
I love baking cakes and cookies!
Staci Z.
I just found your website in search of a grain free chocolate cake and I can’t wait to try the recipe I found. Now I’ve come across this post and I think my family might be eating cake and cupcakes for a while. I love baking, mostly muffins and cupcakes.
Sandi O
I love using Bob’s Red Mill flour to make breakfast muffins for my boys. I make a bunch and freeze them so we always have them on hand.
Traci
Can’t wait to try these, I’m a chocolate lover but a buttery vanilla flavor sounds enticing! Thanks!
Rig
I’ve never used Bob’s flour before, but I have eaten the morning cereal and it is delicious.
Johanna B.
I love using their Almond flour and coconut flour to make low carb treats!
Jennifer Silva
I love baking for my family. My favorite is creating a cupcake for my daughters themed birthday parties.
Marcia
Almost anything I can add pumpkin too. The favorite of all is Pumpkin rolls. Love to see the grandkids smiles when they find out I made some.
Kate
I bake muffins all the time! I usually use King Arthur White Whole Wheat flour, but am open to trying other kinds. 🙂 I am looking forward to trying this cupcake recipe.
Krystal Watson
My favorite thing to bake is banana bread! I love how the house smells.
Julie
though we all love cakes, cookies, and brownies, our favorite thing is a leisurely weekend breakfast…. scones, muffins, waffles and pancakes are some of our faves!!
Kellie J.
Cookies are my favorite thing to bake!
Katherine
I LOVE Bob’s Red Mill baking products- I know I’m baking with quality ingredients, and they have a wide variety of flours, etc.
My recent favorite is to make GF pumpkin muffins with the GF blend- so moist & ‘sneaks’ in a veggie. And another favorite is ‘Magic’ cake recipe from Bob’s Red Mill using their almond and coconut flours instead of ‘regular’ flour. It is the moistest, yummiest cake I have ever had!!! Top with coconut based whipped topping and bittersweet chocolate and it’s like Almond Joy, or drizzle lightly with lemon curd & top with berries. It’s great for GF or for just a break from carb flours.
leah
my favorite thing to bake is vegan chocolate cake/cupcakes. It’s delish! and my daughters love that they can lick the bowl!
Ana V.
Bead, chocolate cookies and raisin bran muffins are top 3 in our house! I recently switched to a gluten-free diet for health reasons and Bob’s Red Mill flours have been of great help. Amazing products.
Joanne
I love to bake my family’s breads, rolls, muffins,pancakes and waffles. Store bought breads have so many questionable ingredients. Bob’s Red Mill has a huge variety of grains and baking ingredients.
Laurie
I like enjoy all sorts of baking, but homemade bread is something we always have on hand in the kitchen.
Jennifer
We really enjoy making banana bread and brownies. There are so many different add-ins for banana bread – but chocolate chips/chunks are our favorite. There’s nothing quite like warm banana bread & chocolate!
Whitney Townley
This is a tough one! I just love to cook/bake period! I gonna have to generalize and say my favorite thing to bake is anything super yummy that is also healthy. I especially love to take an unhealthy recipe and turn it into a healthy one! I believe you can eat healthy without having to sacrifice flavor!! Have been loving your website!! It’s helped me sooo much with hubby and school lunches!!
Dariela
I love to bake! But I don’t do it as often. My favorite thing to bake now-a-days are muffins or cupcakes with a twist, adding lots of nutrition like chia seeds, almond flour, hemp seeds, flax seeds and I want to try so many Bob’s Red Mill products!
Rachel
Those cupcakes look like perfection! My favorite thing to bake is peanut butter brownies, I have used BRM products before but they are kind of hard to find in my area.
Yvonne
I found a great recipe from Food Network magazine for a mix and match quick bread. You can make it a banana bread, zucchini, carrot, etc. then you customize the add-ins: nuts, craisins, coconut. It freezes well and is nice to bring along to a party.
Geneviève
I looove baking cupcake and muffins! And brownies!
Elizabeth
I’m definitely more of a baker than a cook! Cookies and muffins are my usual staples – mostly recipes found right here on this website! I just tried these Vanilla Classroom Cupcakes for my husband’s birthday last week, and my son is already asking for me to make them for his July birthday! The texture and flavor was amazing.
Lauren Boucher
I received a bread machine last Christmas, and I love experimenting with different homemade breads. I’ve made the switch from regular all purpose flour to the whole wheat kind and I’m still learning how that makes a difference in things :0) My favorite switch so far has been for our weekly pizza nights. Adding some fresh parmesan and italian herbs into the dough makes it out of this world!
Cynthia Hutchinson
Healthier now with whole grains-dark chocolate cake with bittersweet ganache
Ashlee
I love to make scones for my celiac grandmother who can’t see well enough to bake anymore. Of course my kids love when I bake cookies. 🙂
Janet
I’ve been gluten free for almost 3 years and this has been the only brand I use. For pancakes breads etc. I just found. Their pizza crust and it’s the best. I’ve tried so many gluten free pizzas and they’ve all been eh but there’s is the best. My sons 5th bday is In April for maybe we’ll make these for his class. He is not gluten free but doesn’t notice a different if I give him a slice of gluten free bread or the pizza !
Marion
My little ones and I love to bake and they enjoy helping with muffins, breads, cupcakes and especially icing them.
Courtney Siefring
I love Red Mill’s oatmeal! I use vanilla almond milk, brown sugar, and pecans and it tasted so much better than the prepackaged oatmeal with all the added sugars.
Kathy
My KIDS’ favorite thing for me to bake is my homemade pizza! Second to that is our butternut squash muffins and the surprise chocolate chip cookies that appear every once in a while!
Judy Otto
While I have a cabinet full of an assorted variety of Bob’s Red Mill flours, my favorite item to make is buffalo cauliflower ‘wings’ using Bob’s Red Mill garbanzo flour – it’s the only one I’ll use – it makes the perfect batter every time!
Shannon Woodward
I love to bake bread – and with a family of 5 we go through a lot of it, so it is an almost-daily task for me!
Nicole G
We love making muffins at our house. Lots of help with my 6, 4 and 2 year old kids.
Nicole
I love Bob’s Red Mill products. I love baking muffins…we are huge muffin fans 🙂
Sage
My favorite thing to make is your Momables Morning Glory Muffins (no joke!) with Bob’s Gluten Free Flour… I literally make these almost every week. They have been one of the very few allergy friendly baked items that have worked out for me and I thank you so much!! My family has grown to appreciate them as well 🙂
http://www.momables.com/allergy-friendly-gluten-egg-dairy-free-morning-glory-muffin-recipe/
Laura Fuentes
I love those morning glory muffins too! Thank you for letting me know they are one of your favorites!
Rhonda
Those look amazing! I have been looking for something fun to make tomorrow when the big snow storm hits us. These would be perfect 🙂

Stephanie
I love making home made granola bars, they are way better that the store bought kind!
Christine
I love Bob’s Red Mill products and love your recipes! Thanks for sharing!
Nova R
I like to bake and cook and when I do bake I like to use Bob’s Red Mill whole wheat pastry flour in a lot it my recipes. My family doesn’t have gluten allergies so I sub out AP flour (some or all) with the WW pastry flour for my recipes I want a delicate crumb (muffins, cup cakes, pancakes).
Jennifer L.
I love to use Bob’s gf almond flour to make chocolate chip cookies!
Tricia
My favorite thing to bake is chocolate chip cookies.
Vanessa
I use Bob’s Wheat Pastry Flour for pretty much everything except the bread I bake twice a week. 🙂
Sandra
I love baking and am passing it on to my grandkids. I found while baking it’s the perfect time to teach them not only about the different products and techniques, but to teach them their family history such as how these recipes were handed down from their Oma or MaMere! Also it’s a great to let them share their secrets; however it’s the laughter I enjoy the most!
Tiffany Campbell
I love to bake bread.
Kristina
That’s a hard question. My husband’s definite favorite is cookies. My kids always want to make muffins or donuts, but my favorite thing to bake are yeast breads. There are so many tasty variations, and I am (very slowly) learning how to make sourdoughs.
Cait
I absolutely love Bob’s Red Mill gluten free flours and gluten free oats. Our staples are his sorghum, brown rice flour, biscuit and baking mix, potato starch, arrowroot, and quinoa flour. My favorite go-to gluten free cake mix is Bob’s vanilla cake mix – love the flavor from the almond extract it calls for in this recipe!! Excited to try the gluten free option of your cupcakes!
Makaela M.
Oh and did I mention that my cake is completely gluten and dairy free? Because it totally is! Hehe
Makaela M.
Oh my God it’s my birthday and the only thing I wanted my mom to go out and buy is Bob’s Sourghum flour! It is honestly the best flour I have ever tried! I use it to bake anything from breaded chicken breast strips to cakes and cookies! It has a mildly sweet flavor so it’s especially good when baking desserts! My favorite thing to bake with Bob’s sourghum flour is my secret “triple layer pound ice cream cake”. I use ingredients such as Bob’s sourghum flour and Bob’s ground flaxseed, chia seeds and banana to hold the cake together, ground carob powder and homemade almond milk to make the chocolate frosting, fresh vanilla bean and coconut to make the ice cream, and crumbled carob chips for s lovely chocolate chip taste!
I can go on and on but I have to get started baking with Bob’s great sourgham flour and flaxseed for my birthday party later! Yay!!!
P.s. For some reason it won’t let me rate your recipe but I give it 5 giant stars! Looks amazing! I have to try it! I’m thinking for my moms birthday on Feb.18th!
yana
Love baking cakes and cupcakes!
Alecia M
My daughter attends a charter school that requires her to take her lunch each day, so I am trying to make healthier choices with the products I use to make her lunch. I’ve never heard of not seen Red Mill products, so I’m really hoping to win this gift.
One thing we like to make and freeze in baggies for lunch are mini muffin pan fruit pancakes. She takes these for her morning snack. We also like to bake homemade granola bars…ummm good.
Ruby
I am so excited. I did not know there was a gluten free flour mix until I read about it in this blog. I love to bake and my best friend is dangerously allergic to gluten, sugar and dairy. I am going to start working on recipes for her. She owns her business and is very busy. I am retired and physically handicapped. This is something I will be able to do to bless her. .Thanks for telling me about the gluten free mix.
Araceli Kimberlin
I love baking brownies, cakes…really anything sweet! I’ve never tried Bob’s Red Mill but would love too!

Buffy
I love to bake snicker doodle cookies.
Rachel
We love to bake pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.
Mindy
My favorite thing to bake is probably muffins. They are super easy, quick and so versatile. Also, my 6 year old can do them almost completely by herself (I just mill the flour for her). 100% whole wheat bread is also a staple in our house that I bake whenever we are on our last loaf!
Colleen M
My favorite things to bake with my kids are anything with chocolate chips : cookies, muffins, banana bread, and pancakes! Everything tastes better with chocolate!!

I love making my grandma’s chocolate cake. My mom made it often when I was growing up. It’s an egg free recipe, so even my youngest kiddo with an egg allergy can eat it. Essentially, it’s the best chocolate cake EVER.
Molly M
My favorite thing to bake is gluten free brownies and cupcakes with my little ones. My gluten free 5 year old loves them! I like using Better Batter flour but it’s so expensive. I have never used Bob’s Red Mill flours. However, I did grab some recently to test my Nana’s fastnacht (a German donut) recipe in a gluten free form.
Cassandra
I love to cook all sorts of things, but mainly desserts! 🙂 Brownies, cookies, and pies!!!

suej
In our house, we love making waffles and baking bread.
Kathy C
I would rather bake than cook anything else. I like King Arthur whole wheat white flour. I would like to try some of Bob’s flours, but they seem kind of expensive to me. I don’t like to buy too many specialty flours because I just wouldn’t use it all. I could freezer it maybe. I will definitely try this cupcake recipe. The most recent thing I baked was a pineapple upside down cake in a cast iron skillet. I added chopped to it and it was delicous!
Susanne
I love to bake homemade bread!
Carolina
I like baking lots of things especially cakes/cupcakes for my kids’ birthdays, quick breads and pancakes and crepes. My 16 year old has followed my joy of baking and does her own baking too, especially chocolate chip cookies. Recently she has been experimenting with several of Bob’s Red Mill flours and the results have been delicious!
Patty
I love making pumpkin bread over the holidays!
Kristi
I love to bake German pancakes with UNCLE BOB’S UNBLEACHED WHITE FINE PASTRY FLOUR. I love knowing that the flour is made from soft white wheat and I’m not baking with bleached, unhealthy flour.
Tasmin
I enjoy baking brownies, cupcakes and biscuits. I’ve been making a lot from scratch but want to do more. I am going to try your cupcakes this weekend.
Teresa M.
My family’s favorite baked item is chocolate chip cookies, but brownies are a close second. I am beginning to think my son has gluten sensitivity, so I am open to trying recipes with gluten-free flours. Thanks!
EJ Taylor
I love Bob’s Red Mill products. I use their almond meal to make shortbread cookies similar to Pecan Sandies. I use their garbanzo bean floor to make flatbreads. Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour works beautifully in my chocolate cake. The gluten-free oatmeal works beautifully in my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I’m a lifetime fan and grateful for products I can trust.
Karen Jeffries
My little grandson loves to help and loves cupcakes. So happy to try this healthy recipe with him.
Stacy
I would love to try your recipe in March. My 3 year old will turn four. And he loves cupcakes too! I have never tried the red mill flour. I will give it a try.
Justin
Brownie cupcakes and pancakes are my thing! Our girls (4 & 2) are obsessed with helping me cook now that they’re getting older. I love experimenting with new ingredients and flavor a but the one area I don’t stray far from is the flower/powders from Bob’s

I love baking birthday cakes my husband and son!

My 9 year old has decided that she wants to have a cupcake shop when she grows up, actually she’s already taking orders for friend’s birthday parties. Today she branched out to include chocolate cupcakes. I am encouraging her to start experimenting with using less sugar. Maybe she’ll be willing to try this recipe, it looks really good. I’m also pleased to hear about the 1 :1 gf flour as she wants to bake for friends with gluten sensitivities.
Phyllis Lindburg
I love making Chocolate cake with fudge frosting. I found a recipe in my Grandmothers cook book for the frosting. I never saw her use a cook book, so I didn’t even know she had one. It is very simple and doesn’t need a candy thermometer.
Dawn
I love to bake breads and anything chocolate 😀 I make a grain-free chocolate cake with almond flour. I get Bob’s almond meal and grind it finer in my coffee grinder to get the cake to have a smooth texture. Right now, I’m drying sprouted wheat berries to make bread (I grind the old time consuming way with a stone mill) and will be adding some ground Bob’s Flax to it, too.
Amy
I enjoy baking quick breads, especially banana bread . I don’t know that I have a favorite flour, but I love using Bob’s Red Mill’s oatmeal and cereal grains.
Cristina
These look SO good! My daughter is turning 9 on Valentine’s Day. We paid $80 (!) for a custom gf cake last year so I’m gonna try this recipe. I like making cupcakes and cookies, but then I eat too many! I use Bob’s Red Mill often. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Lisa
Different kinds of Bread! My daughter especially likes when I make muffins to take in her lunch.
Kristen
I love the whole wheat flour for baking muffins, scones, breads, and pizza crusts. If its just me and the family, I find it works in almost any recipe, and we’ve gotten used to the textural differences between all whole wheat and white. When company comes, I break out the regular AP white flour. Of course, I also highly recommend Bob’s 10-grain cereal. My son thinks its tastes like Cream of Wheat, but what he doesn’t know is its so much healthier!
Nancy
I love to bake home-made yeast cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing.
Elizabeth Kindler
I love to bake all kinds of things but especially cookies! There are so many varieties that it never gets boring! I use Bob’s Red Mill baking soda and their unbleached organic flour because I always know I’ll get a quality product every time!
Rachel
Cinnamon rolls are def our favorite thing to bake around here….!
Erica
I love all of Bob’s Red Mill products. I don’t eat gluten so I really like that they have all the various GF flours and have premixed blends as well….pretty sure I’ve used them all. My favourite things to bake using their flour are cookies and breads. I also use the GF oats almost daily! Thanks!
Jessica Monte
I love to bake banana cranberry walnut muffins for my daughter and freeze them for a quick snack. She just pops them In the microwave to heat them up.
Stacy L
I have tried so many Bob’s Red Mill products (tapioca and other flours, flaxseed, etc.) and have yet to find one I didn’t love! I enjoy making pancakes and cookies and was recently given a Friendship Bread starter. I have gone through a few 10 day “cycles” with the starter and tried some different recipes with it…Bob’s Red Mill flour worked great for those, too! 🙂
Laura Fuentes
LOVE friendship breads!
JoAnn O.
Happy 4th to your son! My son will be 4 before I know it, so I totally understand how you feel.
Hmmm, my favorite thing to bake. I love to bake breads, and I usually use a blend of King Arthur all-purpose flour and an additional flour. My favorite Bob’s Red Mill flours are the almond flour (great for coating chicken or adding texture and flavor to cookies) and the arrowroot flour (makes incredible sweet potato gnocchi). Love that brand!
Char
Hi Laura,
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! We just recently had to go gluten free as a family due to some health issues and I was looking for a company who makes gluten free flour. My knowledge about the topic is still minimal, but I’m learning! 🙂
I have three girls and we all love to bake. Whether it’s cookies, cupcakes, or brownies – it’s always a fun family time!
Thanks again for sharing your experiences! It helps this mom make treats everyone in the family can enjoy!
Tracy
Wow! What an awesome giveaway. Bob’s Red Mill flours are a staple at our house. I enjoy baking cookies, breads, muffins and cakes. I use the gluten free 1 to 1 flour (husband has celiacs) and also really like the rice flour, sweet rice flour and the gf oatmeal.
Thanks for the “sweet” (pun intended) giveaway!
Ashley
Do pancakes count? They’re not exactly baked but… still some of the most delicious things on this planet. I love finding different pancake recipes and making them with different flours! I also love to make French macaroons. It’s a recipe you definitely have to practice, but they end up so nice and you don’t have to pay a fortune like you do for pre-made ones. The almond flour in them gives their nice light texture so that’s a staple in my house. And, they’re gluten free!
Laura Fuentes
in my world.. pancakes count 😉
Martha Alford
I love to make bread. I use Bob Mills Ivory White Whole Wheat flour the most. But I have many others in my pantry.
Eliza
We use King Arthur flours…e have dabbled with them all! Currently we are loving blueberry muffins and chocolate chip banana bread. Just picked up a bag of Red Mill almond flour but have not yet tried it!
Sarah Jann
I love to bake muffins.
Stephanie
My favorite thing to bake…? I love baking! Scones, muffins, cookies, bread. And since last August I have been getting acquainted with gluten free baking, a whole new world. I like using Bob’s Red Mill gluten free flours.
Faith McGee
I have just been introduced to Bob’s Red Mill products, and love them and baking with my kids.
Yvonne
I love baking for my family and with my kids. Cookies, Muffins, and Cakes oh my…. 🙂 Since we bake gf we have found the Bobs Red Mills has the most variety of flours to pick from and the quick GF all purpose mix.
Susan A
We enjoy making muffins and scones, something we can have with breakfast and throw in a lunch box for school time. Bob’s Red Mill products have been a part of pantry for ages.
Laura Garver
I love to bake “from scratch” healthy applesauce carrot muffins, chocolate birthday cake, vanilla cupcakes, and any kind of cookies! Everyone’s favorite this past holiday was Orange Ginger cookies made with Bob’s Red Mill Whole Wheat Pastry Flour!
Tasha
I love Bob’s! I am always looking for ways to incorporate protein in my son’s diet, so I usually replace half the sugar with Bob’s whey to reduce the sugar content and improve the protein content. My current favorite thing to bake is steel cut oat muffins with a variety of mix-ins, and I use Bob’s quick cook steel cut oats for the muffins. I love to bake, especially in winter, because it warms the house and makes it smell so good!
Aubrey
I love to bake brownies, cupcakes, and cookies!
Barbara A. Fodor
Bob’s Red Mill is my go to for organic non-flour baking. The variety of product has allowed me to experiment with substituting the flour in traditional flour recipes. We also love pancakes made with the 10 Grain pancake/waffle mix. Yum!
Marion
My little ones and I enjoying baking cupcakes and muffins together. They especially like making the frosting and taste testing it!
Alli
Thank you for the recipe! My son has celiac, so all the food in our house is GF to avoid cross-contamination. Both of my kids have birthdays coming up and this recipe looks fantastic!
We love Bob’s Red Mill for GF products and we live about 45 minutes away from the store. :o) We love their GF muesli and the GF muffin mix because I can mix anything into them (bananas and coconut!) when I’m barely awake on a Saturday morning.
Laura Fuentes
you live 45min from the store?? so lucky!!
Candis
I love to bake cakes and cookies, but the thing I bake most often is granola bars. I like white whole wheat flour.
Agata
I love to bake everything and I’m always using Bob’s Red Mills organic all purpose or pastry flours. Thank you Laura for posting this yellow cake cupcake recipe. I will definitely use it when I will be making cupcake dress – cake for my daughter first communion.
Wendy
We love to back at our house. Bread, cookies, muffins, the list goes on. Red’s Red Mill flours are my favorites. Thanks for sharing your cupcake recipe. They look quick to make and delicious!
Brooke C.
I love to bake bread and cookies!
Lisa Marz
I love to bake cookies. peanut butter, oatmeal with cinnamon chips, snickerdoodles, m&m, gingersnaps, peanut butter with recees PB cups or hershey kisses, roll-out cookies…… Love cookies!
Kay
I like to bake breakfast goodies, like muffins and scones. I like to substitute 1/2 of all purpose flour in my recipes for Bob’s Red Mill whole wheat pastry flour– it makes me feel like I’ve just made it a tad healthier without sacrificing taste or texture.
Angela
My children and I love making gluten/dairy free chocolate chip, peanut butter and oatmeal cookies together. I generally use King Arthur or Bob’s Red Mill.
Cara
I love to bake but ever since going gluten free I have struggled with recipes. I am so glad I found Bob’s GF mix! My daughter and I are big cookie fans and I have been able to make our favorite chocolate chip cookies with the GF mix – and we both love them!
Jill
My favorite thing to bake is birthday cakes for my kids. My Grandmother made Cakes growing up as a side business and I gave many memories of digging through her cake pans deciding what cake I was having her make me for my birthday that year. She’s since passed but I try so hard to make sure my 3 kids have the joy I had growing up with a special cake made just for them!
Monica
We love to bake muffins!
I’m not familiar with bob’s 1to 1. Looking forward to giving it a try
Digna
Hello, Thank god I found you 🙂 I am new to gluten,dairy and egg free since my son is allergic to those its hard but now all I do is search your website. For his B-day I baked him the chocolate cake I found in your recipes I used the Bob’s Res Mill gluten free all purpose flour.
Can’t wait to try this!!!
Thanks!
Sara
My favorite thing to bake is brownies. And, I also like to bake garlic rolls to go with dinner every once in a while…..so comforting!
latanya
I like baking muffins
Debbie Hausher
I’ve recently discovered Bob’s Red Mill products and so far love them. Definitely will be trying out the cupcake recipe as yellow cake is a family favorite.
Meredith
My girls and I love to cook together and my oldest is taking a cooking class in school this year! We can’t wait to make these cupcakes together – thank you so much!
kelia
I love baking with my little one! We will have to try these
Amy Dreier
How would you make this dairy free? He eats a soy plain yogurt. Would that work? And applesauce for the eggs? Or would you use the flax seed replacement? I’m curious what your thoughts are on this. Thanks!
Laura Fuentes
to make these dairy free, you can replace the yogurt with canned coconut milk and the butter with palm shortening. I have made these with flax eggs and they aren’t as fluffy. I hope this helps!
Kelly
I LOVE BOB’s! Oatmeal, Flours, Cornmeal, Wheat Gluten. Do you know if I can use this recipe for a regular cake and just adjust the times? My almost 3 year old NEEDS a train cake, lol. Thanks Laura!
Heather B.
I love baking sweets – cookies, cakes, cupcakes – nothing beats the flavor of homemade. In fact I wish I’d had this recipe on Saturday as I made 2 dozen cupcakes. I will try your recipe next time.
Jody
Muffins are my favorite thing to bake! So easy for the kids to grab for breakfast and go. Top three: bran, banana chocolate chip, and poppy seed. My favorite Bob’s Red Mill product is the unsweetened flake coconut I use in my granola.
Jennifer
Baking is very therapeutic for me. My favorite things to bake are cookies, cupcakes and brownies, mostly because they’re easy to pack in my kids lunches! Although they can be quite dangerous for me to have in the house because they’re easy to grab! I mostly bake with almond or coconut flour and BRM arrowroot or tapioca flour for sure. I do use all purpose on occasion or a gluten free blend. I will definitely need to try BRM. Thanks for this recipe. These cupcakes look easy and delicious!
Karen S
Thanks so much for the recipe, Laura. I just bought some Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 flour to try for my gluten free baking. I usually use King Arthur Flours gf flour and mix with good success, but wanted to try Bob’s too. Their arrowroot powder is the best by far. I usually eat paleo, but just have to have some gf baked goods once in a while!
Cathy
I love baking cupcakes, especially vanilla, which is why I was very interested in this recipe. I’ve used Bob’s Red Mill but not the 1-to-1 flour, not sure we have it in my store. I may need to buy it online but can’t wait to try it!
Alison
I love baking bread. Thanks for the recipe.
Norma
I love baking! Its my favorite thing to do in the kitchen! its so easy to let the kids help along and it makes the sweetest memories especially at Christmas! One of my new favorites is a super healthy greek yogurt muffin that is flourless. its so versatile and moist. you can tweek it any way you like, Ive made pumpkin, blueberry, thrown in nuts , and of course dark chocolate chips! They are great to freeze and pull out as you want.
Polly
I love to bake…anything! I have never used Bob’s Red Mill, so thanks to your post, I will go out and see if I can find it. I really enjoy your site, which I only recently discovered. Your kids are adorable. My son turns four THIS WEEK, so I’m going to give your cupcakes a try! Thank you!
Andrea
We love baking cookies, muffins and breads. Waffles and pancakes are often requested. Bobs flours are great to cook with. We like almond and coconut flours in addition to wheat flours.
Pohai
My kids and I love baking scones, cupcakes, and cookies. We also like making pancakes and waffles!!
My favorite flour to bake with is Bobs whole wheat pastry flour.
Donna Braamse
I like to bake cookies and cupcakes. And banana bread! I haven’t tried anything gluten free yet, but I’d like to.
Donna Braamse
I like baking cookies and cupcakes. And banana bread! I haven’t tried anything gluten free yet, but I would like to.
Heather
My favorite thing to bake is chocolate chip cookies (with or without oats and coconut, depending on how I feel…) Easy and fast, but still delicious!
Cyndee Galustian
Can’t wait to try this recipe for our son’s birthday in two weeks; he’ll be 11 so it will be Harry Potter themed, right down to the invitation to attend Hogwarts! My father introduced us the BRM, looking forward to checking out their entire line. Thank you for the opportunity 🙂
Vickie
Favorite thing(s) to bake…..chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon rolls, breads etc. Love Bob’s Red Mill rye flour, oatmeal and so much more!
Zeynep
I love to try different kinds of breads. Usually I make my breads , instead of buying.
I also make cakes with chocolate ganache, which everyone loves it.
Susie Brown
I love baking things for my boys, usually cookies or bars or quick breads. These look like good addition to my repertoire.
Angela
I love to bake chocolate chip cookies and banana bread. I like substituting Bob’s almond flour for half the all purpose flour called in the recipe. It adds a wonderful texture and sweetness to the recipes. This is by far my favorite flour by Bobs Red Mill.
Laura G.
We bake a lot here. Blueberry muffins, and my son loves a donut recipe we found that has spinach and blueberry puree in it for less oil. It’s chocolate,so you don’t see the puree… my kids love your peanut butter breakfast cookies, I usually quadruple it to try to get through the week… I’m teaching them to bake, we use lots of Bob’s Red Mill flour, especially their almond meal and while wheat pastry flour.
Lee Anne Boyd
Banana bread is really my favorite thing to bake.
Darylene
I am very much a newbie when it comes to baking. I absolutely love baking cookies because they are hard to mess up and usually always taste delicious! I also love baking breads to use for the week. My hubbys birthday is coming up in February so I definitely will be using this recipe with my two sons to make their daddy a special treat!! Thanks for sharing!
LeeAnne barnett
I love to cook, but have limited time (like everyone) and just getting into baking. We love making muffins!
Melinda
We are banana bread fanatics. Seems like there is always a loaf baking. In fact, I’m getting ready to make some right now. I just picked up Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free flour for the first time today. I’m looking forward to using it. I love the idea of using the same flour all the time and then knowing how to modify a recipe when using it. I typically use my own blend, but so happy to have the convenience of a 1-to-1 flour!!
Kristina g
I love baking zucchini Apple carrot muffins! Sneaky way for the kids to eat veggies!
April
Mostly I bake pies. There’s nothing like freshly baked, apple pie served with a wedge of cheddar cheese or scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Dana
I like baking anything sweet! I’ve used some of Bob’s Red Mill products and have liked them all. Thanks for this cupcake recipe- can’t wait to try it!
Stacie
Our 4 kids love to help bake cinnamon rolls! I have seen Bob’s Red Mill in the store, but never moved beyond the Gold Flour. I am not sure why as we use their Flax seed ~ time for a change! Can’t wait to try this cupcake recipe!!!
Joy
I also like to use Bob’s Red Mill Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour and whole wheat flour.
Since having the kids, I have dedicated time to making as many foods as we can, especially those we enjoy most to avoid preservatives, but also to teach my kids as my grandmother (baker extraordinaire) used to. We bake our bread for lunches weekly, make homemade pizza dough, bake triple ginger cookies with BRM whole wheat flour, pancakes, and apple muffins for breakfast… Just to name a few most frequent and favorite items. They’re pretty fast the more you make them and the kids “help” most of the time! We will try your cupcakes too… So simple! To make vanilla into chocolate cupcakes, I usually make a dark chocolate ganache and just fold into the recipe.
Julie W.
We love to bake pumpkin muffins at our house. I’ve never tried this brand of products, but I’m going to look for them on my next shopping trip. Thanks for introducing them!
Melanie Reeves
I love Bobs Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten free baking flour! I use it all the time for my sweet little girl.
Carrie Haines
I love to bake chocolate chip cookies, blondies, brownies, and cupcakes. Any kind of dessert 🙂
Sandy Bean
Hi Laura!
I love to bake most anything, but lately, it’s been three things: breadsticks (I found a recipe on Pinterest and I’m OBSESSED), cookies, and berry muffins– blueberry or triple berry vegan ones, to be precise. I realize it’s like having cake for breakfast, but as long as it’s called a muffin, I figure I’m good. My fave Bob’s product is the meusli! I love to soak in almond milk. If might be GF– I recommend it if it is. Mmmm.
Laura Fuentes
I LOVE their muesli too! I used to eat something very similar to it when I lived in Germany and that’s the closest thing I’ve found in the US.
Jinger
I recently discovered graham flour, and love it in our pancake mix! We love baking brownies, but I hope to make homemade graham crackers soon!
erica
My favorite thing to bake is chocolate chip banana date muffins. I use 1/2 white whole wheat and 1/2 White whole.wheat pastry flour. My kids love em. (twins age 6.5yrs and little one age 3.5 yrs . All girls)
Tami
I love baking bread. Please share some recipes from Spain with us.
Laura Fuentes
You got it.
Jenny
Thanks for recommendation! My daughter and I love to bake cookies and have struggled to find a decent gluten free flour/recipe! I’ll pick some up tomorrow!
Rochelle
Last month I decided I wanted to become a better baker, so I’ve been trying new things almost weekly. Last night I made maple pecan squares which are amazing. I also love making cookies and cupcakes with my oldest (he’s 3 1/2). My middle little one (he’s 19 months) is starting to show interest in what I do in the kitchen and “helped” me make cookie bars last week. It was messy but fun!
Emily
Thx for the yummy cupcake recipe! I love to make muffins to serve for breakfast, in kids’ lunches, or even for “breakfast for dinner”, and I can sneak in fruits and/or veggies. I love BRM whole wheat pastry flour bc everything comes out fluffy and smooth (and healthier). Carrot cupcakes are a house favorite 🙂
karen
I love King Arthur flour but do buy Bobs red mill occassionally. Can’t wait to try this recipe – my daughters bday is in a few weeks!
Karen
I love to bake bread, but I agree that cupcakes are really fun, too! If I could eat cupcakes every day, I would!
Claudia S.
My girls and I love to bake cookies, muffins and quick breads. I love all their gluten free flours and their whole wheat pastry flours makes muffins and quick breads so moist yet they are made of whole wheat.
Laurie
My family loves when I make cinnamon chip scones and apple flaxseed muffins.
nicole
Brownies! love to bake brownies! does it matter what percentage of fat is in the greek yogurt? i typically buy fat free only. love bob’s red mill whole wheat pastry flour
Jennifer L
I am just learning to make gluten free baked goods my whole family can enjoy, even though I am the only one with a gluten allergy. I love to bake anything with my son, but mostly cupcakes and cookies. I like your advice of finding a brand you like and sticking with it to learn how it should be modified in recipes.
Karoline
I am always making banana bread with all those left over bananas.
Jenny
I love baking cupcakes and muffins. I’m always looking for low sugar alternatives for my kids. I recently started using gluten free flour. I have used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1. It’s really easy to use and turns out great! I can’t wait to test out these cup cakes. Happy Birthday to your little one! Time flies!!
Laura
I love making muffins as an easy thing to grab in Morning or enjoy with my coffee. I’ve been using Bobs gluten free for my banana muffin and blueberry muffins and the Kids don’t know the difference. I’m excited to try your cupcake recipe, my daughters upcoming birthday is a baking party so this recipe will be perfect for it! Thanks!
Janel
Pancakes (or breakfast in general) are our favorite. Love this brand!
Jay
My son turns six this week. When I asked if he wanted yellow or chocolate cake, he said chocolate. My favorite is yellow with chocolate frosting, so I’ll have to selfishly save this recipe for me 🙂
Laura Fuentes
That’s our favorite too! Happy birthday to him!
Alli
I love baking muffins and brownies with my kids! I have never used any of the Bob’s products but would love the chance to try them out!
Thanks
Tamara Irving
My favorite thing to bake are banana muffins with whole wheat flour and gingerbread muffins. I use a box recipe for the gingerbread and make the banana ones from scratch! I have improved!
Judi
My favorite things to bake are cookies and bread. I love to bake so I often ask my kids what they want me to bake.
Ben
My wife and kids always request baked chocolate chip oatmeal for breakfast, and it’s one of my faves because it’s so easy to pull together. My wife went GF in 2015 and I had a moment of panic about how I would continue to make it for her specific needs. Through a mix of Bob’s Red Mill GF flour, oats, and flax seed, It’s as easy as it ever was and fits the new dietary needs. Happy birthday to your little man, Laura!
Laura Fuentes
Thanks so much Ben! Here is to your success in the neww adventure of a (GF) kitchen!
Kari Hughes
I’m enjoying experimenting with Bob’s Red Mill garbanzo bean flour. I add it to muffins and quick breads to add a protein punch to nut/peanut free snacks that I can send to school. So far my favorite item to add it to has been banana bread. I’ve had people tell me my banana bread is some of the best they’ve ever tasted; they were shocked when they learned there was garbanzo bean flour in it!
April
We mostly bake chocolate chip cookies around here, but I love a good cake recipe 🙂 can’t wait to try yours!
Julia
I love to bake muffins and cupcakes, since I’m impatient and they don’t take as long to bake as breads and cakes 🙂 I love Bob’s Red Mill, too. Their flours, arrowroot, and cornmeal are all top-notch! Can’t wait to make these cupcakes with my littles!
Suzie
Pumpkin muffins and banana bread with cream cheese frosting!
Wendy
I love to bake cookies, brownies, blondies, cakes… 🙂
Cathy
My favorite thing to make is chocolate chip cookies. I’m always trying new ones, but I always go back to my favorite recipe from Thomas Keller 🙂
Thank you for the giveaway!
Tricia
I love the Whole Wheat Pastry Flour….and we like to make waffles, muffins, bread, and pizza…….
Hanna
Haha, Im just clearing out my inbox and saw your recent email with the cupcakes post. Funny thing, I also spent Saturday evening going through your book, looking for ideas for lunches this week and found the cupcake recipe without realising that the same one was already in my inbox. We made these today with my twins (who will also be 4 in 3 weeks) and they loved them. I am a careful Weight Watcher and after checking the Smart Points values (10 SP for just a cupcake and 20 SP for just frosting), I decided to just have a bite (without the frosting) – it was yummy :))
I really like your recipes, even though some ingredients are difficult to find in UK – the whipped cream cheese has only just been introduced. I also haven’t managed to convince the twins to like nut butters and cream cheese yet, we could try much more then but we’re working on it.
Best wishes!
Hanna
Laura Fuentes
Thank you so much Hanna for making my recipes all the way in the UK! I hope to be able to share more with you for many years to come!
Sarah
I love to bake brownies and muffins!
Jamila Mergerson
Hi Laura!!! I hope you are well! I just came across your website today! It looks AMAZING!!! I have recently become more of a baker because I can’t stand buying the store bought boxed items that have terrible ingredients! I make pancakes maybe too much, cookies, cakes and cupcakes (for birthdays), zucchini bread, etc, etc . . .I really LOVE Bob’s Red Mill Unbleached white flour. When I use that flour compared to others- my pancakes seem to be so much more fluffy and the texture is better if that makes sense! Thanks for this recipe- I am definitely trying this for my next munchkins birthday! Bookmarked! 🙂
Allison
I love baking cookies and scones. Looking forward to trying this cupcake recipe.
Carin
I love to bake bake bake. Lately, I have been baking tons of granola with bob’s red milk gf oats. My peanut butter granola is super easy and deeeeelish!
Athena R
I love BRM flours as well as King Arthur flours. I love baking everything. I especially love making muffins with my toddler.
Giovanna
I like to bake pancakes,muffins and cupcakes.
I also like the Bob’s Red Mill products.
Claudia Ortega
I like baking cupcakes!! Will definitely try baking these for Valentine’s Day! It’s my little ones 3rd bday ❤️
Regina
I’ve recently learned how to make cookies from scratch & learned that it makes about 3 dozen! Which is fine with my family lol. However I need to incorporate a few vegan recipes for my husband. Any ideas Laura? Thanks ☺
Robyn Owens-Miille
I think I will make these gluten free cupcakes for my boys! They look very yummy and I love that they are simple ingredients and not a bunch of crazy ones.
Kim
My son will be 4 in April. He is always in the kitchen with me baking up our favorites: cupcakes and cookies.
Lindy
I love baking cookies and cupcakes. I have recently become gluten free bc of a gluten intolerance and tried making chocolate chips just today with the Bob Mills gluten free flour. They turned out great.
jen
Lately we love to bake cupcakes and scones. This sounds great. Yum!
Emily
Seems like a lot of sugar-especially in the frosting! I usually sub in applesauce or banana to replace some of the sugar, plus moisten it up. I might give this a try with 1/2 the sugar next month when my son turns 3!
Amanda
My favorite thing to bake is whatever is requested! A family favorite is oatmeal cookie bars, followed closely by zucchini bread in the summer. When I bake whole wheat bread for myself, I use a blend of whole wheat and BRM spelt flours.
Heather Bee
We use most of our flour for baking cinnamon raisin bread and cooking different flavored pancakes! We hope to bake more sugar cookies; if I don’t, my boys may stage a revolt! Lol. Thank you for this great recipe and thank you for the opportunity for Bob’s products! I absolutely love and trust this company. I had no idea until recently the variety of products that they have!
PS – totally trying this recipe for a birthday snack day next week!! 🙂
KathyB
HI, As his retirement approached, I told my husband of over 40 years, “The HE or SHE who cooks never does the dishes!” George is fast becoming a good cook and a baker of wonderful desserts and treats.
Heather Luth
I love to make cupcakes and cookies! The finished products are yummy and the batter is great to snack on too!
Kate Olson
Hii! My oldest son is turning four next month and has requested “regular” cupcakes since he’s not a fan of chocolate, and I am so excited to try this recipe! I haven’t baked with Bob’s before but am certainly going to go out and buy some after hearing your positive review. I usually just use Gold Medal flour, and we love to bake muffins and cookies around here! Thanks so much for making my life easier with these simple and delicious recipes!
GK
I love to bake cookies; whether its the homemade soft chewy chocolate chip cookies or the simple sugar cookies – my family can’t have enough of them.
I have been a fan of Bob’s Red Mill products. their Almond meal is a staple in my house.
Rae Varela
I love baking just about anything… My favorite would have to be pumpkin bread… Or yeast bread… Or cookies for my kiddos…. It’s too hard to choose! I really do love baking and cooking for my family and friends.
Juli
I love baking anything! My kids like waffles, chocolate chip muffins (your recipe), and cookies 🙂 I love all of the Bob’s Red Mill products!
Tania
Definitely going to try this for my daughters third birthday. We are trying to change our lifestyle one step at a time. This is a good starter recipe for us.
Heidi
I JUST baked 5 dozen cupcakes for my twins’ birthday last week! I wish I’d had your recipes; will try for my next son’s Bday in March. I did enjoy frosting the cupcakes with my littles and plan to make it a tradition (goodbye store cakes!).
Laura Fuentes
5 dozen! You are a champ Heidi!! I hope you enjoy this recipe next go around!
Filomena
I love Bob’s Red Mill flours and these are my favorite cupcakes. It’s really not that much harder than a box version. Soooo much better for you! Thanks for sharing.

I love baking anything from breads to cookies. Love bob s red Mill and am excited to try the gf one.
Frances
My daughter and I love to bake homemade cupcakes with homemade icing! We can’t wait to make these!

I love baking cookies and cupcakes! I use Bob’s Red Mill baking soda, baking powder and arrowroot powder!
Laura Fuentes
I love their arrowroot powder. Second to none.
Carolina
I like baking cakes/cupcakes for my kids’ birthdays and also quick breads. My 16 year old has followed my joy of baking and does her own baking too, especially chocolate chip cookies. Recently she has been experimenting with several of Bob Red Mill’s flours and the results have been delicious!
