Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups Bob’s Red Mill’s 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour (or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/3 cup gluten free jimmies
- 4 ounces unsalted butter (room temperature)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.

- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, oil, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy – about 2 minutes.

- In a large bowl, beat the butter until light and creamy.
- Add 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk and beat for another 30 seconds.
- Add the remaining powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat again for 30 seconds. If needed, add another tablespoon or two of milk. Beat until smooth.
