Muffins Anyone?

[Guest jokamo]

Does anyone have a basic muffin recipe that I could use over and over again, but add different ingredients to, ex: dried fruits, or choco chips? I can't seem to find ne that is a typical recipe. I did find one on a diff web site, but it called for a liquid sugar (which I don't use, at least not yet).

Thank you to Carriefaith and everyone else who has spent time typing new recipes for everyone! I'm a newbie and I can use all the help I can get!

Thanks

Hi Jodi,

You want a recipe right? Not a mix? I use a mix and just add whatever I need to it. With 4 of us gluten free I just don't always have time to mix up a recipe and these come out great every time! It is Kinni-Kwik Bread and Bun Mix by Kinnikinnick. I purchase a bulk order from them every few months and keep the frozen breads, pizza crust, english muffins, bagels, and donuts in a big freezer. I keep the mixes on teh shalf and they are fine sitting for a few months. They don't taste stale or anything. You just add liquid to the mix. My favorite are Cranberry Orange. I mix it with OJ and add dried cranberries and grated orange rind and a bit of sugar. They always come out great.

I use the regular muffin recipe out of a normal Betty Crocker cookbook, and sub out a mix of gluten-free flours that vary depending on my add-ins.

If you can get Pamela's baking and pancake Mix it has on its package recipes for muffins. It also has recipes for cookies besides the pancake and waffle recipe. I would make these often when I was just learning how to bake gluten free. You can get pretty creative by adding whatever you want.

This muffin recipe worked great for me the very first time I tried it a couple of weeks ago, easy and delicious, turned out perfect!

I made mine with leftover strawberries I had made for shortcake, were cut up with my pastry cutter and loaded with sugar.

I was worried that all the extra liquid from the strawberry juice/sugar mixture would make the muffins turn out wrong, but they turned out perfect.

The recipe is for blueberry muffins, and I wonder now how they'll turn out without all the extra juice! Haven't tried anything but the strawberry muffins!

Oh, and also, I just buttered the muffin pan and they popped right out as soon as I got them out of the oven, that was great, didn't need cupcake papers! Use butter though, butter works way better than oil for keeping things from sticking to the pan, at least for me anyway!

Blueberry Muffins

Makes 12 muffins.

Ingredients:

1 cup brown rice flour

1/2 cup potato starch flour (not potato flour, but potato STARCH flour)

1/2 cup tapioca flour

2 teaspoons guar gum (xanthan gum interchangeable, same measurement, I use guar gum)

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar (I use raw sugar instead of white granulated)

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup applesauce

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 cup olive oil (or any oil you like to use)

3/4 cup non-fat milk (I used 2% or whole milk, forget now, any milk is fine)

1 1/2 cups fresh or thawed frozen blueberries (I used thawed frozen strawberries)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Butter muffin pan.

Stir together dry ingredients.

Make a well in center of dry mixture and add applesauce, eggs, oil, milk.

Stir together just until moistened.

Gently fold in blueberries.

Divide mixture into muffin pan and sprinkle with sugar. (The batter will be thick, and will fill each muffin slot nearly to the top.)

Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Makes 12 muffins. Remove muffins from pan immediately after taking it out of the oven, and cool on wire rack. Delicious warm, too.

Best wishes to all!
