Guest Post: Blueberry Cupcakes

Hello, my friends! I am typing this from the abyss of a very exam-heavy couple of days, but I have quite the treat planned for you in the meantime. I am so pleased to present a very sweet and talented blog reader and friend named Sara who whipped up these absolutely scrumptious looking blueberry cupcakes! I hope you enjoy, and I’ll see you on the other side!

Blueberry Cupcakes – Vegan & Gluten-Free

Vegan and gluten-free cupcakes – I did not think about them for very long.  Today my grandpa came and reminded me of delicious cupcakes my grandma used to make for us. Although I have made gluten-free bread before and my family loved them,  it was quite challenging to make soft, not too sweet, vegan and gluten-free cupcakes, that would also be liked by my grandpa. I bake cupcakes frequently, as they are simple and quick to make. In addition, blueberries are my grandpa’s favorite berries so I decided to make blueberry cupcakes for him, and why not? My grandpa wanted them! 🙂

Well, here is the recipe that will make up about twelve cupcakes.
