Easy Recipe For gluten-free Muffins?

[Pegleg84]

Hi

I'm new to the gluten-free baking thing, and looking for some good tried-and-true recipes. I'd really like to find a good muffin recipe, preferably with a limited range of flours (can't afford to buy and store every last one). I like fruit and spiced stuff, and have no other allergies, though i'm not crazy about bean flours.

any suggestions?

Thanks

Peggy

I use better batter gluten free flour and convert all my 'normal' recipes - It is the only flour blend that I have.

I'm eating cranberry orange muffins right now made with it.

This website was a lifesaver for me when I first started the gluten-free diet: Open Original Shared Link

Some great recipes here! Apple Streusel muffins, Cinnamon Pull aparts, Blueberry tea bread, and the basic muffins are all winners in my book. I've tried the basic muffins w/ various fruits, w/ chocolate chips, w/ coconut, w/ poppyseed and lemon juice. It's a great starter recipe to work with. And pretty much all the recipes use the same flour mix.

Good luck!

I use this flour mix for all my muffins:

1 1/2 cups sorghum

1 1/2 cups cornstarch or potato starch

1 cup tapioca flour

adding xanthan gum

then add in either sour cream or applesauce to the recipe

I have recipes for:

Chocolate, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Cup, Lemon Yogurt Poppy Seed and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip.

If interested I can post any or all of them soon (my dd is graduating from H. S. in 2 days, so I will be busy for a few days).

I never cared too much for fruit muffins, because I LOVE chocolate

I saw a basic muffin recipe on here months ago that you just add berries, etc. Maybe someone will post it.

edit: I remembered that I had saved it, but I have never tried them:

I'll second that on the bean flours. I have used Tom Sawyer Flour and Better Batter Flour. I liked both, but I'm going to stick with the Better Batter. I too just convert all my old recipes. I have found that I sometimes have to add a little more liquid than I did before. Gluten free flours love to soak up liquid. One of my favorite things is banana bread muffins. It is a great way to use up your overripe bananas.

Thanks everyone! This is such a huge help!

Right now I'm trying to compile all the ingredients i need to make my own flour mixes and get down to some serious baking. I'll probably continue this thread with questions once I try some of these out

thanks again
