I'm running low on stuff to eat breakfast, and as its finals week, I thought it would be a good idea to make a batch of muffins or some sort of breakfast bread. Does anyone have recipes to share? I have most of the common gluten-free flours and such, so having to go out and buy a bunch of ingredients shouldn't be an issue.

The easiest thing I do is take any regular. muffin or biscotti recipe and replace the flour with equal amounts of Bobs Red Mill all purpose baking mix and add I tsp xantham gum. Voila Easy. If i don't hve Bob's mix I used equal amounts of whatever gluten-free flours I have. I've used mixes of hazlenut flour with rice and corn flour etc. Just made chocolate walnut biscotti.

I don't have any actual mixes, just bags of the different flours. I'm sure I could probably find a recipe for a mix though.

I don't always have the mix but if I have a few kinds of gluten-free flours on hand I just mix 1/3 of each and it's always worked out fine with quick breds, muffins etc. I've always been a good cook and hardly measure. Sometimes it corn, rice and potato flour and others it might be hazlenut, corn and rice. As long as it is a flavor that isn't wierd with your other ingredients, experiment a bit.

I have made good banana bread with the following recipe. It would probably make good banana muffins too. Just reduce the baking time for muffins.

1/2 cup buckwheat flour

1/2 cup potato flour

1 cup tapioca flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup butter, slightly soft

1/2 cup honey

2 large eggs, beaten

3 large overripe bananas, mashed

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Mix dry ingredients (three flours, baking soda and salt) in a bowl

3. In another bowl cream together butter and honey. Then add bananas and eggs. Mash it all together until well mixed.

4. Mix the wet ingredients with the dry until well mixed.

5. Pour batter into a very well greased loaf pan.

6. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Are you both saying potato flour and not potato starch?

Good question...potato flour is a very heavy flour and is usually used very sparingly.

Tina, so are you saying hazelnut flour is one of your staples? Wow. Hadn't heard anyone else say that, but since you've been gluten-free since 1990, maybe I should consider that. It is VERY expensive at Whole Foods. Have never seen it anywhere else. Where do you buy it?

Believe it or not, I had amazing success making banana bread with the recipe on the back of the Domino sugar bag and just replacing the flour will all rice flour and adding a teaspoon of xanthan gum. That was the first thing I ever baked gluten free and I couldn't even tell the difference between mine and the one my boyfriend's mother baked the day before (I loved the stuff and was torn up about not being able to eat it anymore, and I HAD to try making it). So that was before I knew that baked goods just with rice flour are less than satisfactory. Apparently in this recipe it doesn't make a difference, really. So easy.

Here's the recipe:

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
