Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup white sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 ½ cups gluten-free all purpose baking flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup coconut milk
1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 banana, sliced into 12 rounds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, to creamed butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Add coconut extract and mix thoroughly.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Beat 1/3 of the flour mixture into creamed butter mixture on low speed just until incorporated. Add 1/2 of the coconut milk to butter-flour mixture and beat on low just until incorporated. Beat in 1/3 of the flour mixture, followed by remaining coconut milk, ending with 1/3 flour mixture until batter is just mixed.
  • Spoon 2 tablespoons batter into each muffin cup; top with 1 strawberry slice. Spoon 1 tablespoon batter over strawberry layer; top with banana slice. Spoon batter over banana layer to fill muffin cup completely.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.

I'm allergic to strawberries. Is there a way to make these cupcakes without them?

These cupcakes look a bit too complicated for me to make. I think I'll just buy some from the store.

I'm not sure if I have all of the ingredients for these cupcakes. I'll have to check my pantry.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cupcakes didn't rise very well. They were still tasty, though.

These cupcakes are a bit dry. I think I would add more milk or yogurt to the batter next time.

The frosting on these cupcakes is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
