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:

      Hair loss

      By TessaBaker · Posted

      It sounds like you're dealing with a complex situation, and I can understand how frustrating it must be not to have a clear answer. Gut health can indeed play a significant role in various aspects of our well-being, including hair health.

      Thiamine supplementation

      By Celiac16 · Posted

      I have found similar benefits from thiamine. I was diagnosed with celiac at 16 and never really recovered despite strict gluten and dairy free diet and no detectable antibodies on checkup bloodworks. I’ve tried stopping the b1 but start to feel bad again- I wanted my doctors to do more extensive testing for the different thiamine transporters and enzymes which would be a better indication if I was deficient or dependent on it but everyone dismisses it (there are know genetic mutations where you need to take it daily for life). I have looked into Thiamine Responsive Megablast Anemia and I have a lot of the more mild symptoms of the disease that manifest when thiamine isn’t given to the patient such as optic neuritis… I just find the parallels interesting. i think that celiacs could be a side issue of inflammation that resulted from vitamin deficiencies. I was eating a lot of sugar leading up to my diagnosis and since eating gluten free didn’t make me feel much better, I’m wondering if this was more the underlying issue (sugar heavily depletes b1). I usually take 1.5g thiamine a day.

      Thank you for your welcome and reply.  Yes I've been carefully reading labels looking for everything in bold and have been amazed by what I have seen. However Heinz tomato and basil soup is wheat free so I m thinking I already have ulcers?  The acid could be causing the pain . My pain always starts in one place then follows the same route through me . GP confirmed that is the route of our digestive system.  So much pain from stabbing to tearing. If I throw in milk with lactose it's horrific.  Many years of it now, won't go into details but been seeing a consultant for a supposedly different problem . Wondering what damage has been done over the years. Many thanks for your reply. Wishing you the very best.

      Welcome to the forum community, @Fluka66! Did you realize that the vast majority of all canned soups use wheat starch as a thickener, including such common commodities as Campbell's tomato soup?

      Hello. Any help would really steady my nerves right now. I realised recently that certain food left me in agonising pain so eliminated from my diet. I also have a swollen lymph node. My very caring Dr did some blood tests and I went back the other day to see another equally caring Dr . She looked at the test results one result has come back with something wrong. It came very fast so I'm afraid I didn't catch what it was. Anyway the urgent referral to ENT. She did say as I had already eliminated gluten it wouldn't say anything on the results and neither Drs nor I were prepared to reintroduce gluten . I've just had some tomato soup and again in agony only thinking this must have aggravated maybe existing problems. Does anyone know what I'm facing now ? My swollen lymph node , pain when eating gluten and lactose and I'm assuming the acidity of tomatoes triggering pain.  I'm trying to stay calm and to be honest I've been in intolerable pain at times rendering me unable to stand up straight but I've always just got on with it . Guess I'm reaching out and would really appreciate any wise or unwise words at this stage. Wishing you all the very best as you live with this illness. Fluka66
