It's a Coffee Cake Makin' Kind Of Tuesday

Tonight I decided to make coffee cake cupcakes. It was something new, I've always gotten mine from the store... however since becoming Gluten-Free it's been quite difficult on finding gluten-free bakery items. So why not make them! I found what sounded to be a tasty recipe for them on All Recipes and just substituted the All purpose flour for Gluten-Free Bisquick. They are absolutely fantastic, and I can't believe I haven't made these sooner.

Here's the Recipe - It makes about 12

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• TOPPING:
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg. combine flour, pudding mix, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk. Beat until blended. Stir in walnuts. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over batter. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack.

 

This is them uncooked right before I put them in the oven. At this point I wasn't sure how they were going to turn out because they didn't look too appealing... But look at the after!

I couldn't believe how good they were! Even switching out the all purpose flour for the Bisquick, it was so good! I can't wait to make them with a twist next time!
