Gluten Free Halloween Treats

My son loves Halloween. He kept asking about it since spring. Finally it is here! He was anxious to go shopping for his Halloween costume. He wanted to be a Pokemon.  A Charizard that was. But I was unable to find the costume he wanted online so I decided to take him to a few Halloween stores. I knew that once in the store full of so many costumes he was going to find something he liked.  He had chosen to be a police man, to my surprise. No Transformers, no Batman, Superman or Power Rangers. Just the classic police man. And for me to go along with him ( I wanted to match him for his school's Halloween party) there was the prisoner costume. We were a perfect match.
Next step..Halloween treats. I knew there are always some goodies, snacks and treats  at the party, but my son usually can't eat any of that. So whenever we go we have to bring our food and treats. So I wanted to make some cupcakes inspired by Halloween. These were my first ones by they did turn out well. However, they raised in the oven little bit more then I expected.  So my solution was to cut off the top of the cupcakes and decorate them with gluten free icing and gluten free sprinkles as I planned anyway. They turned out great. Beautiful Halloween colors. And they tasted yummy. I made more so we could also share with others at the school's party. My son helped decorate them and we had fun.
As for the cupcakes here is what I used:
1-1/2 Pamela's Gluten free Pancake Mix
2 large eggs ( I used gluten free egg replacer from EnerG)
3/4 cup milk ( I used almond  milk. I didn't have regular so I used vanilla just use less sugar)
1 Tbsp oil
 powder sugar.

I have to admit I didn't measure the amount of sugar. Just add as much or as little as you need so the batter is sweet enough for your taste. When it is too thick add some milk again.
Don't forget to grease muffin or cupcake pan and sprinkle a little bit of flour on the butter so it won't stick. Preheat oven on 350F and bake about 20-25 min or until the tooth pick comes out clean.

I started to do this recipe  for waffles, only the original recipe is with water instead of milk and no sugar. I like it more sweet and then we go easy on syrup on our waffles. When I saw how the batter comes out so nicely from a waffle  iron I decided to give it a try and bake them as cupcakes instead. And I am glad I did. It was great idea! They tasted really yummy. You can decorate them as you wish. Enjoy!
