For those following the Low FODMAP diet, you can use normal milk as the amounts of lactose are not over the threshold for causing digestive symptoms.
If you are not following a special diet, you could use normal flour and use one less tablespoon of milk for the same result.I havent tried making cup cakes using this recipe, but I see no reason why it wouldnt work out….
Enjoy!
