GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
A delicious gluten free cupcake recipe using rice and millet flour. The millet lends a bit of a cornbread taste to it. This could also be made into a 8 or 9 inch cake, or without the cocoa powder for a white cake.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Melt butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water. Stir to combine, then remove bowl from heat and let cool slightly. Whisk in egg yolks.
- With an electric mixer on medium speed, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until peaks are stiff and glossy but not dry (do not overbeat). Whisk one quarter of the beaten egg whites into chocolate mixture to lighten; gently fold mixture into remaining whites.
- Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until cupcakes are just set in centers, about 25 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool completely before removing cupcakes (their centers will sink). Cupcakes are best eaten the same day they are baked; keep at room temperature until ready to serve, topped with scoops of ice cream, if desired.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to grind the oats into oat flour. This will ensure that the flour is fine enough and will help the cupcakes have a smooth texture.
- Be sure to measure the oat flour correctly. Too much oat flour can make the cupcakes dry and crumbly.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent the cupcakes from overflowing in the oven.
- Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the cupcakes dry.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
These gluten-free chocolate cupcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their rich chocolate flavor and fluffy texture, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a gluten-free dessert, give these cupcakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
