The shelf life of baking powder is about 6 months once opened if I remember right. It can go bad and loose it's rising power and for the same reason premade mixes that have baking powder in them can fail if they've sat too long before being used. There is a way to check your baking powder to see if it's active still but I don't remember how. :( Overmixing eggs can cause things to fall and sometimes if the chemistry is a bit off, the baking powder can activate and deflate before things make it to the oven.

As missy'smom said...overmixing the eggs.

It's from a gluten site, gluten-free recipes could be different.

Some of my recipes have 1/4 tsp. baking soda in them.

Just a thought...could be something to do with the acid in the orange juice...I don't know.

The muffin ingredients are heavy and may not work so well with gluten-free flours.

Other posters may have some great ideas.

It seems like there's too much liquid ingredients for the amount of flour in the muffins. I'd try either reducing the oil and juice to a 1/4 of a cup each or throwing in more flour. If you want more orange taste, try putting in some grated orange peel.

I'm not familiar with the muffin mix, but make sure you have a tsp of xantham gum in there.

Another trick that I've found really helpful to make your muffins stick together and be more, well, muffin-like is to put in a tsp or so of unflavored gelatin. Knox is gluten-free.

Definitely add the baking soda. Also, if your apples are very cold, they'll slow the baking process. And also agreed that the batter sounds a little wet, especially considering the apples, which will also add moisture.

Compare your recipe with this one:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=51754

then adjust yours a little bit each time until it works.

Sounds like too much liquid in the batter and too many additions. Oven could be too hot. Don't overmix, don't over-cream. Once you have your batter ready don't let it sit too long - all the CO2 will escape.

Hope you are having better luck!

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Found coffee or coffee pods that contain gluten

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
