Coconut cupcakes - a simple vegan and gluten-free cupcakes recipe with rice flour and coconut milk.
Coconut cupcakes - easy cupcakes with coconut milk and black rice flour.
I never used rice flour in baking until I was on a vegan and gluten-free diet. These will not be so fluffy when compared to cupcakes made with gluten flours but will taste good and you should try once even though you are not on a gluten-free diet.
I like buckwheat flour in cakes and muffins when compared to rice flour. You will get fluffy cakes with buckwheat flour but the only drawback is color 🙂 Any cupcake made with buckwheat flour will be brown in color 🙂
I have banana muffins recipe with buckwheat flour, please check it if you are interested.
Black rice is rich in antioxidants and we get indigenous variety from northeast India. I used store-bought black rice flour in this coconut cupcakes recipe.
I also make black rice kheer recipe which we all like but my daughter doesn't like it and hence I tried this recipe and it was a hit with her 🙂

It is always a challenge to bake with other flours and you are beating the challenge beautifully. These muffins may not look pretty but I am sure they tasted delicious with the coconut in it...
