Health benefits of Sour Cream-Cocoa Cupcakes

Brown rice is a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

2.1 ounces sweet white sorghum flour (about 1/2 cup)
1.15 ounces brown rice flour (about 1/4 cup)
1.05 ounces tapioca flour (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup fat-free sour cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking spray
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon 1% low-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °.
Weigh or lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, cocoa, and next 4 ingredients in a bowl; stir with a whisk.
Place sugar and 1/4 cup butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in sour cream and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, beating at low speed until smooth (batter will be very thick).
Place 12 paper muffin cup liners in muffin cups; coat liners with cooking spray. Spoon batter into prepared cups (cups will be almost full).
