Well, I have officially jumped back on the SF/GF bandwagon. I have been merrily going along substituting my recipes with GF flour, but this is hands down the best SF/GF recipe I’ve tried to date.
I’ve tweaked a little; adding 1/2 cup golden raisins, and substituting the 1/2 tsp allspice for 1/4 tsp each of ground cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg (because I crave my pumpkin spices all year).
Now, I’m off to go buy your SS&GF cookbook to further impress my friends (and indulge my taste buds).

@Victoria, I am sure buckwheat was divine with the carrots and spices. I would use honey now too...I don't use much agave anymore. Hugs, Amy

Hi Amy!
First of all I wish to thank you for sharing the recipe. My mother has been diagnosed Coeliac recently and we’re still getting used to the new ingredients. I used buckwheat flour and honey instead of agave and added some cinnamon. The cup cakes are still in the oven but are smelling wonderful and came really nice … Can’t wait to try them! Thanks Regards from Malta x

@Amy, Hi Amy - Thanks for your response. I checked my notes and I did use just garbanzo bean flour, instead of garbanzo fava bean flour in one of the 4 ingredients in your basic flour blend. That's probably why it tasted so bean-y. But like I said after a couple days they did not taste beany any more. As to spices, no I did follow everything in your recipe; I even added a little ground cinnamon in addition to the 1/2 tspn of ground allspice. I think this is a good recipe and if I had followed everything exactly the cupcakes will probably taste wonderful. They were good as it is too. Thanks again!

@Claire, Did you leave out any spices? I have never had anyone say that they taste beany at all - I used the All Purpose blend in this recipe; not the Basic. Confusing I guess...
