Vanilla Cupcakes with Nectarine Frosting
Vanilla Cupcakes with Nectarine Frosting, Gluten Free
Here is a yummy way to use summer fruit in a light dessert! This is an easy recipe for vanilla cupcakes with nectarine frosting! Don't they just make your mouth drool?
Servings: 12 cupcakes
Calories: 146kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Nectarine
- 1 Gluten-Free Pillsbury Vanilla Cake Mix
- 1 Buttercream or White Frosting Some are Dairy Free
Instructions
- Bake the cupcakes according to the directions located on the cake mix box.
- While the cupcakes are baking, slice the nectarine and place it in a food processor to be finally chopped. Make sure there are no large chunks. If you want a thinner frosting as shown in the photos, add just a dash of unsweetened almond milk to your nectarines and mix together in food processor.
- Place desired frosting in a bowl and pour nectarine mixture over the top. Stir well. If the frosting is a little too thin (if you added the almond milk) place in the freezer for a few minutes to thicken.
- Once cupcakes are finished cooking - allow them to cool before adding the frosting.
- If you have a frosting bag handy or even a Ziploc baggy, place your frosting inside and top the cupcakes generously. Add a small slice of nectarine if desired, for garnish.

It sounds so good. If I was with you we would have to share the bowl of frosting. Wish the internet was around when my son was little, it would of saved me from having to deal with tantrums. He was allergic to tree nuts and dairy.
Yup I’d be happy to share that frosting Charlene! hahaha Eating Dairy Free I know how fun it is to get a really yummy pastry that is dairy free!
