- 1 3/4 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup dairy-free milk

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the flour, salt, baking powder, vegetable oil, dairy-free milk, and mint extract. Continue beating on medium speed for another 1 minute.
Divide the batter among the liners, filling each 2/3 full (about 1/4 cup of batter per cupcake). Bake for 23-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting - In a medium mixing bowl, beat the dairy-free butter and palm oil with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the mint extract and beat until combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with 1 tablespoon of dairy-free milk at a time, beating well after each addition. Adjust the consistency with more or less dairy-free milk as desired. Pipe the frosting onto each cupcake. Sprinkle with crushed mint candy pieces.
