Happy Birthday Cupcakes

Does it have to be a birthday to enjoy cupcakes? Here in the Welcoming Kitchen - No way! Go ahead and whip up a batch for any occasion ... even if it's only a Wednesday. If you are looking for an oat-free cupcake, substitute 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour plus 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum for the oat flour. (Note: You can make your own oat flour by blending gluten-free rolled oats to a fine powder.)
