Ingredients
- 1/2 stick butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- Your favorite buttercream frosting, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add your butter and sugar to a bowl. Using a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, incorporating completely after each addition.
- To the mixture, add the yogurt and vanilla. Mix to combine fully.
- In the same bowl, sift the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a rubber spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet, being careful to not overmix. Stop mixing once no dry flour spots remain.
- Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Add ¼ cup batter to each liner.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean. Begin testing the cupcakes at 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to let them cool completely. Frost with your favorite frosting, premade or homemade.
Notes
Since these are vanilla cupcakes, you can go wild with your frosting flavor, if you like! Cookies and Cream, Maple, or Chocolate would all work deliciously.
Use this recipe as a base for gluten-free cupcakes and add additional flavors as needed, such as cocoa powder, blueberries, or peaches.
