These cupcakes are so moist and so delicious, you’ll begin wondering why you haven’t always eaten gluten free. I recently made six dozen of these for an event and when I suddenly realized I hadn’t even posted this recipe!

Although I’ve listed quite a few organic ingredients, you can use any type of ingredients you choose. For me personally, though, I whole heartedly believe that organic products have a more complete flavor than their counterparts, especially diary products. Furthermore, organic low-fat buttermilk has absolutely no additives whereas many non-organic buttermilks have modified food starches added as a preservative, so we kinda have to use organic buttermilk.

Nontheless, soapbox aside, please indulge in these absolutely, positively, eye-ball rollingly good cupcakes. I’m only sorry I hadn’t posted this recipe sooner!
