I know this time I may have gone too far, even for me.

This month, my friends and I are playing with ratios again as part of the Gluten-Free Ratio Rally (see below for details). The assignment: quick breads. I am, in fact, happy to be this month’s host.

Somewhere along the way, my quick bread turned into these Mallomars-inspired cupcakes. Maybe it had something to do with me eyeing a box of those famous cookies in the supermarket the other day, which led to reminisce about my middle school days in California when I would eat up an entire box (true story).

I just had to have those flavors again, so I needed to make them gluten-free for my whole family.

My worlds colliding and these insanely good cupcakes were baked off first in my mind, then in my kitchen. Now, I hope they make it into your kitchen, too!

What’s the Gluten-Free Ratio Rally? We’re a group of food bloggers and cookbook authors committed to baking with ratios. (See below for the complete list of bakers and their recipes.) Please send me an email if you want to join us.

Me and my ratio: After playing around in the kitchen with various ratios, this one made me (and my family) the happiest. It’s easy to remember, too. Feel free to have fun with the ratios. It will depend ever so slightly on the ratio of grains and starches in your gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Also, just in case, I’ve included cup and spoon measurements if that’s what you’re more comfortable with.

1 part flour
1 part egg
1 part fat
