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:

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By RMJ · Posted

      The normal ranges can vary for the tissue transglutaminase and gliadin antibody celiac tests because the units aren’t absolute.  Could you please tell us what the normal ranges are for the laboratory used? If her tissue transglutaminase results are 10-fold above the normal range some would diagnose her on that alone.  Endomysial antibody ranges are more standardized, and a titer of 1:5 would usually be normal.  Might that be the normal range and not her result?  Her total immunoglobulin A is normal for her age. (This is tested because if low, then the other IgA tests might not be valid).

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Hello there! New to celiac community, although I have lots of family in it.  My two year old was just diagnosed with celiac disease based on symptoms and bloodwork.  symptoms (swollen belly, stomach hurting, gagging all the time, regular small vomit, fatigue, irritability, bum hurting, etc) she got tests at 18 months and her bloodwork was normal. She just got tested again at 2 1/2  because her symptoms were getting worse and these were her results :   Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA 58.8 Unit/mL (High) Endomysial Antibody IgA Titer 1:5 titer (Abnormal)   Gliadin Antibody IgA < 1.0 Unit/mL Gliadin Antibody IgG 8.5 Unit/mL Immunoglobulin A 66 mg/dL Her regular pediatrician diagnosed her with celiac and told us to put her on the strict gluten free diet and that we wouldn’t do an endoscopy since it was so positive and she is so little (26lbs and two years old). I’m honestly happy with this decision, but my family is saying I should push and get an endoscopy for her. It just seems unnecessary and an endoscopy has its own risks that make me nervous. I’m certain she has celiac especially with it running in mine and my husbands family. We are now thinking of testing ourselves and our 5 year old as well.  anyways what would y’all recommend though? Should we ask for an endoscopy and a GI referral? (We are moving soon in 5 months so I think that’s part of why she didn’t refer us to GI)

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.
