Even though these muffins are gluten-free friendly, they do not sacrifice taste or texture. So it’s a win-win situation!

Extra Tips to Remember

Our favorite GF flour blend: After quite a few tests, we have found that the best flour for baking (when needing a 1:1 all-purpose flour ratio swap) is bob’s redmill 1:1 gluten free flour! It is a blend of different flour ingredients that help it react almost identically to all-purpose flour. Thus making it our top choice for gluten free baking!

Natural sweeteners: this recipe calls for brown sugar, but we also enjoy baking with unrefined sugar like coconut sugar. It responds identically to brown sugar in baking but is natural and has a lower glycemic index than other table sugars. 

How to Freeze & Store Muffins

Keep leftovers fresh: store muffins in a ziplock bag and keep at room temperature for 3-5 days or refrigerate to keep fresh longer. 

Freezing instructions: cool muffins completely, then place in freezer-friendly ziplock bags and freeze for 1-2 months. When ready to eat, thaw and reheat in microwave for 15 seconds or until warm.
