Allergy Free Cupcakes

Gluten-free, egg free, nut free, & dairy free

These cupcakes come in handy for kids with allergies, if there is some kind of school celebration, or you have a visiting child with an allergy. Make sure that you don't "cross-contaminate" your recipe with other ingredients, all utensils need to be thoroughly cleaned away from allergy specific ingredients, and make sure that the individual ingredients you choose are free from allergy items i.e. check the ingredients panel they cannot contain traces of.

1 ½ cup gluten-free flour

¾ cup sugar

¼ cup cocoa powder

1 tsp gluten-free baking powder
