I’m so happy you’re enjoying the flour!!! The Earth Balance Soy-Free Spread will likely work just fine in these cupcakes. I can’t say that I’ve tried this particular recipe with that product, but I find it does work well as a substitute in most recipes, except for many cookies. “Spread” products contain different kinds of oils — the kinds that help them to “spread” and have a lower melting point. I would make sure the product is very, very cold when you use it in your recipe, and definitely try it as cupcakes, not as a cake – you should have more success with the results there. If you can get your hands on it, and your son can tolerate coconut, I would HIGHLY recommend Earth Balance’s newest spread: Coconut Spread. It’s also GF/DF/SF and truly tasty! You can also download a free recipe brochure from their site, with recipes using their Coconut Spread product. It contains some GF recipes as well (2 of which are mine, using my flour) – have fun baking and Happy Birthday to your son!!!

We use it in everything from muffins to pancakes. I am thinking of making these for my son’s birthday as he is GFCFSF. So I was wondering if subsituting the earth balance soy free spread vs the sticks that have soy would have much impact?

The sugar does contribute to the nice caramelization on the top of the cupcakes, and whipping the sugar with the butter/sub in the first step adds lightness to the recipe. If you do decide to cut the sugar back some in this recipe, please let me know how it goes! I know it works great in this proportion, and I honestly haven’t had time to experiment much with it to cut the sugar — it seems like every time I need to make cupcakes, I need them right then and I need to be sure they’ll work, so I go back to my tried and true recipe!

I was completely stunned by how well these cupcakes held up, how similar in appearance & mouth feel they are to a gluten cupcake,and how good the overall texture & taste are-not gritty & dense, just light & springy. Thank you! Thank you!

Just one quick question…wondering if decreasing the amount of sugar just a little bit would affect the texture or overall finished product.

Many thanks,
April

Lots of people (including me) taste the bean flours as an aftertaste in baked goods, which is why I don’t use them in my flour or recipes. Be sure to thank the Fairfax Whole Foods for carrying my flour – I used to teach classes there, and they’ve kept it on their shelves due to demand since then. It’s a beautiful store – you’re lucky you work nearby!

That GF flour has Garbanzo flour. I don’t know what taste I should expect as this is my first time baking these much less eating them. I swear I taste the garbanzo. Nonetheless, I am starting over tonight with the “right” GF flour, your GF flour. I came across the retailers section and I am so excited to see your product at Whole Foods. I’ll be in Fairfax during my lunch break and go back to the drawing board tonight. Question: Is your flour nut-free?
