Gluten-Free Chai Cupcakes

If you love Chai Tea Lattes, you’re going to be obsessed with these cupcakes. These gluten-free cupcakes are perfect for fall, and you can be sure that I’ll be making these again once the weather gets colder. While I’m usually a cookie person, these cupcakes are so delicious. I’ve found that gluten-free cupcakes and cakes are generally drier, but these were so moist! Check out the recipe below to discover my secret weapon.

It’s safe to say that I will 100% be making these again for fall. They’re so moist and delicious, I had two before I even finished shooting them! The key to keeping them moist is adding the greek yogurt. You can also substitute the greek yogurt for sour cream or apple sauce, just be sure to add more chai mix if you opt for sour cream.
