My Muffins Fell Apart!

So I had my first gluten-free baking extravaganza yesterday to keep us with my boys' appetites. most things turned out great. I made the banana bread recipe from the back of the Arrowhead Mills gluten-free all purpsose baking mix box. I decided that muffins would be better for my boys. I made the recipe as stated, and just put it in muffin tins, and cooked for 20 minutes instead of the 45 called for on the bread instructions. They were golden brown, but not overdone when I took them out of the oven.

My youngest took a bite this am and it almost disintegrate! Thankfully he thought it was great and ate it with a fork and scooped up the crumbs :D ANy ideas on what I did wrong, or do bread recipes just not translate to muffins? I've never been a baker, just savory stuff. Not feelin so much like Betty Crocker today :(

Interesting thought. I will be making banana bread this week. Maybe I should make an extra batch and try it as muffins. I just use my aunt's old recipe except using gluten free flour.

gluten-free Baking can be tricky ...don't give up! I have had better luck following the recipes in Cookbooks like Easy Gluten Free Baking by Elizabeth Barbone and Gluten Free Baking Classics by Analise G Roberts...they have been pretty no fail...after MANY flops! LOL :P

Hang in there Betty and don't give up! :D

I went to their site to read the ingredients on the box. Xanthan gum is not listed...did you add any to your recipe? Xanthan gum is the sticky stuff to replace the "glue" in gluten...is the way I describe it :lol:

I wonder how many flops Betty Crocker had??

I was wondering the same thing...whether the Xanthan Gum had been left out...

Why just today I tried to use my Namaste Perfect Flour Blend in my old Blueberry Bread recipe and it was not the same...Now I know that Namaste Flour Blend has Xanthan Gum in it...but sometimes when you try to just substitute a flour blend with an old "gluten" recipe it just does not come out...so I had a flop too! :P

Those cookies that you have for your picture look very good! Did you bake those or is that a picture you picked up from a website?

Its an original Tollhouse cookie pic my dd helped me find. I have a great recipe but I don't take the time to perfectly position every chip and nut on top of each cookie like they do! :blink::lol:

      COVID19 and getting glutened

      By lauramac · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
