Gluten Free Rum Chata Cupcakes

Rum Chata Cupcakes are so much fun to make and just as much fun to eat!  

Rum Chata Cupcakes are so much fun to make and just as much fun to eat!  They are definitely NSFK (not safe for kids) because they have Rum Chata in the cupcake and in the frosting.  These are the perfect dessert for a girls night or Holiday party.  I recommend making mini rum chata cupcakes for a holiday party so they are one bite and less likely to slop crumbs on your clothes. Or maybe that’s just me!

Rum Chata is the alcohol version of Horchata.  You could sub horchata for the Rum Chata and serve them to kids.  They would be just as delicious.  Horchata is a rice-based drink made in Mexico and Central America with spices.  It is delicious and usually has cinnamon in it.

I was blessed to be able to bake today with my friend Jamie.  Jamie is also gluten-free, so  I was thankful to be able to share this with her.  I am also happy to have sent home some cupcakes with her so they are not at my house lol.  Delicious but I am not a big sweets eater.  

​If you missed us making them on Instagram live or Facebook live you can watch it here from YOUTUBE.
