Ingredients
  

  • ⅝ cup milk at room temperature
  • 3 ¾ teaspoons lemon juice
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 egg whites room temperature
  • 2 lemons zested
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ⅛ cups gluten-free flour such as Jeanne's Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix; recipe in footnotes
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Step 1
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • Step 2
  • Whisk milk and lemon juice together in a bowl. Beat vegetable oil, egg whites, lemon zest, and vanilla extract into milk mixture.
  • Step 3
  • Combine gluten-free baking flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until batter is well mixed, about 2 minutes. Spoon batter into lined cups to about 3/4-full.
  • Step 4
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool cupcakes in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Tips
  • Store unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag in the freezer for up to one month or in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Tips
  • I used Jeanne's gluten-free flour blend. The gluten-free flour mix recipe from Allrecipes.com can also be used.
