Gluten Free Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake Recipe

April 10, 2018 By Sabrina Quairoli THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE READ MY DISCLOSURE POLICY PAGE IN THE MAIN MENU FOR MORE INFO.

gluten free pineapple upside cupcake

I tend to eat Gluten Free because I have an intolerance to Gluten.  This Easter, I decided to make this gluten-free pineapple upside down cupcakes for my brother’s in-laws.  Over the years, I have been known for making pineapple upside down cake at Easter.  It’s so easy to make but all the gluten was doing a number on my stomach.  So, this is how I made a gluten free cupcakes recipe. Try them and share!

ingredients to make the pineapple upside cupcakes

Here are the ingredients:

1 box Gluten Free yellow box cake mix (or use the Gluten Free yellow recipe that would make one cake)  This is the one I used: Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix, 15-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) (This link gives you 6 of them.)

1 jar of Maraschino Cherries

1 – 2 cans of the Pineapple Chunks

1/3 cup Unsalted Butter

2/3 cup packed Brown Sugar

2 large non-stick Muffin Pans

Here are instructions on how to prepare this dessert.

spray the cupcake pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Then, I sprayed each cupcake pan hole with a nonstick spray.  I was sure to go up the sides so the cake doesn’t stick. 

melt butter and brown sugar in a sauce pan

I, then, melted the butter and mixed in the brown sugar. 

place the pineapple and 1 hole cherry in each larger muffin tin

Pour the brown sugar mixture into each muffin area.  Then, I added 7 pineapples and 1 full-size cherry and pressed it into the brown sugar.

Here is a close up of what I did. 

after baked cupcake

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cake batter is not sticking to the toothpick. This is how it looks. 

Let cool for 10 minutes and take a knife and separate the outer edge of the cupcake to separate from the pan.  

Then use a cooling rack and place the top over the muffin and turn it over.  The cupcakes should fall right out.

Let cool completely or eat warm, your choice.  

Here is the finished product. Doesn’t it look delicious?

    I make these also however I use the pineapple juice instead of the water when making the cupcake batter. Gives the batter a little extra flavor and everyone loves them.

    Very pretty! I’ve never seen it as cupcakes before – so much more practical than a big cake!
