Pumpkin Muffins

Hi everyone. I LOVE pumpkin muffins this time of year and even bought a mini-8 loaf pan about 4 yrs. ago that I have never used. Would love to bake some this year to give away as Christmas presents.

Does anyone have a favorite gluten-free recipe that I could use for this purpose? I am not particularly fond of Betty Crocker's cake mix even though the pumpkin muffin recipe sounds good on another thread.

Does anyone have a "from scratch" gluten-free pumpkin muffin recipe that is really moist and delicious?

Thanks so much for any help on this!

I haven't tried pumpkin yet, but I've had great success this fall with taking regular muffin recipes and substituting Carol Fenster's sorghum flour blend and adding the amount of xanthan gum that the xgum package recommends for muffins. Every one that we've tried has come out good.

I would love a recipe too! I am right this second baking a batch of gluten full muffins that I had in the pantry, just to get them baked and out of the house. But I will not be eating any of them, so I would love to have a recipe for muffins I could eat! Hope someone posts one! :)

I LOVE my pumpkin bread and the recipe is also good for muffins. Here's the recipe I use:

Downeast Maine Pumkin bread

* 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

* 4 eggs

* 1 cup vegetable oil

* 2/3 cup water

* 3 cups white sugar

* 3 1/2 cups Pamela's baking mixture (has flour, baking soda and baking powder already in it)

* 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

* 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

* 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans. (YOU COULD DO MUFFIN TINS)

2. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.

3. Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

The baking time may be different for muffins.

It's SO yummy, moist and I want some NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's my pumpkin bread recipe that works for muffins:

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...ost&p=44466

You don't have to use all those flours - you can just use a couple (though I wouldn't make soy a main flour). It'll change the taste, but everyone's taste varies significantly.

Here is my converted recipe...it has less fat and sugar than most recipes but tastes amazing:

To make muffins just reduce the time and test with a toothpick. I make some with chocolate chips...oh so yummy!

If you are interested I also have recipes for: sour cream chocolate, lemon yogurt poppyseed, oatmeal chocolate chip, and peanut butter cup.

Thanks everyone!!!! All suggestions sound great. I found my mini-loaf pan and it actually makes 8 mini-loaves!!!! So, sorta like an XL muffin, I suppose :)

Missy's mom: I love the sorgham flour blend, also. Will try that in Purple's recipe b/c I, too, bake with as little sugar/fat as possible while still retaining the flavor.

Purple: I'm going to try your version for the above reasons. Will have to adjust the baking times, though.

I found this recipe somewhere on the internet, and I just love it! They always taste great. I normally use Pamela's mix for the baking mix, and then omit the baking soda. I also like to add pecans, but that's just me:

Pamela's is my hero!!!! I use it for EVERYTHING...for batter, pancakes, waffles...my husband LOVES them too and he's not a Celiac!

Thankyou for this recipe!

      New Study Reveals Hidden Gut Damage in Celiac Disease—Even Without Gluten (+Video)

      After reading the study on Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease I stopped eating processed foods that have milk as an ingredient. Though Gluten Free, "in a fraction of coeliac patients, Cows Milk protein challenge may induce an inflammatory reaction of the same magnitude, as did gluten challenge".

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      Hi @Ginger38, By now you know that these things improve without gluten. I once saw an interview with a corporation executive where he proudly declared that his wheat products are more addictive than potato chips.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting. Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time? I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt. Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand...

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Hi Cristiana Yes I've had the biopsy results showing normal villi and intestinal mucosa. The repeat endoscopy (requested by the gastro doc) would be to take samples from further into the intestine than the previous endoscopy reached.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives. An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA.

      Hi @CC90 Ah... that is very interesting.  Although it is very annoying for you to have to go through it all again, I would say that almost sounds like an admission that they didn't look far enough last time?   I could be wrong, but I would not be at all surprised if they find something on the next attempt.  Coeliac damage can be very patchy, as I understand it, so that's why my own gastroenterologist always likes to point out that he's taken lots of samples!  In the kindest possible way (you don't want to upset the person doing the procedure!) I'd be inclined to tell them what happened last time and to ask them in person to take samples lower down, as  if your health system is anything like the one in my country, communication between GPs, consultants and hospitals isn't always very good.  You don't want the same mistake to be made again. You say that your first endoscopy was traumatic?  May I ask, looking at your spelling of coeliac, was this done at an NHS hospital in England?  The reason for the question is that one of my NHS diagnosed friends was not automatically offered a sedative and managed without one.  Inspired by her, I tried to have an endoscopy one time, in a private setting, without one, so that I could recover quicker, but I had to request sedative in the end it was so uncomfortable.    I am sorry that you will have to go through a gluten challenge again but to make things easier, ensure you eat things containing gluten that you will miss should you have to go gluten free one day. 😂 I was told to eat 2 slices of normal wholemeal bread or the equivalent every day in the weeks before , but I also opted for Weetabix and dozens of Penguin chocolate biscuits.  (I had a very tight headache across my temple for days before the procedure, which I thought was interesting as I had that frequently growing up. - must have been a coeliac symptom!)  Anyway, I do hope you soon get the answers you are looking for and do keep us posted.

      Transglutaminase IgA is the gold-standard blood test for celiac disease. Sensitivity of over 90% and specificity of 95–99%. It rarely produces false positives.  An elevated level means your immune system is reacting to gluten.  Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) does not typically cause high levels of tTG-IgA. Unfortunately the protocols for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease are aimed at proving you don't have it, leaving you twisting in the wind. Genetic testing and improvement on a trial gluten free diet, also avoiding milk protein, will likely show improvement in short order if it is Celiac; but will that satisfy the medical system for a diagnosis? If you do end up scheduling a repeat endoscopy, be sure to eat up to 10 grams of gluten for 8 - 12 weeks.  You want  to create maximum damage. Not a medical opinion, but my vote is yes.

      Cristiana asks a very relevant question. What looks normal to the naked eye may not look normal under the microscope.
