    Thanks guys! I'll let you know how the peach muffins turn out! First though...cranberry orange marmalade muffins... :-D

    What's confusing is that there are so many mango muffin recipes and no one (that I could find) mentions this issue but I have seen others mention it about other fruits. For the bran muffins I discovered they were still incredibly delicious sans-mango, so I make them with just the berries now & have no probs. If I'm feeling extra spiffy (did I really just...

    Yes I agree!! That has been the greatest tip for my muffins. Expect that I almost never actually have buttermilk so I use regular milk curdled with apple cider vinegar (1 cup to 1 Tbsp) and it works great! You can also use milk that has soured and add a little extra ACV. Great way to use up old milk you'd throw away otherwise! Sorry, I know this is off-topic...

    Hi guys! I love muffins with fresh fruit in them but I'm having trouble with the batter surrounding certain fruits not cooking. For instance I made bran flax muffins with blueberries, cranberries & diced mango. There were little pockets of raw dough surrounding the mango (but not the berries). For the next batch I tried freezing the mango before adding...

    I don't agree that you need gums, though in many recipes you do need a binder. I use a combo of ground flax and psyllium husk powder and it works great - without the gummy texture xanthan tends to add. Also, different flours - like teff - hold together better than others. For a lot of my recipes I use a blend of about 2 parts tapioca starch, 1 part potato...

    Thanks so much everyone!! My latest batch came out REALLY good. Great texture and flavor. I'll post the recipe soon! :-) :-)

    I would sub the oat bran with an equal amount (weight) of rice bran. Most of the gluten-free bran muffin recipes I've seen call for rice bran anyway! I'm actually making a batch right now! I'll post the updated recipe with instructions once I see how my new modifications come out. Fingers crossed! :-)

    Anyone? Pretty please? ;-)

    Hiya! I'm creating a bran muffin recipe and the first batch turned out pretty darn good. I'd like to try to give them a little more of a dark whole wheat/wheat bran flavor...any suggestions please? One bread recipe I found that said it had a whole-wheat taste had a little bit of cocoa powder in it. Does anyone know if that really gives more wheat-like...
  10. Wheatfreeleeshy
    Oh no problem - I appreciate the help!
  11. Wheatfreeleeshy
    Ooohhhhhh. Got it, thanks. Darn, I thought I was on to something lol :-)

    Very strange isn't it! The only other place I thought might carry it is an Asian market because apparently it's native to India. I haven't called around yet though.
  13. Wheatfreeleeshy
    I did google it but couldn't find anywhere that was actually selling it. Did you find a site that has it in stock?
  14. Wheatfreeleeshy
    Many months later, I JUST saw your post... So glad I could help!! I made the same ones for non-gluten-free friends from North Carolina & they were shocked! Lol :-D Not sure about the odd taste, hmmm... I've never had a problem with that & I'm pretty sensitive to flavors. The only thing I thought of was to make sure your butter is fresh. I keep mine...

    Anyone know where to buy Montina flour? I can't find it anywhere! I created some mango-blueberry-cranberry bran muffins that came out really delicious but I want to see if I can add a little more whole wheat/wheat bran flavor. I heard that Montina is a great way to do that. Any help would be very much appreciated!!

    In case anyone is still following this, I wanted to give an update! I decided to save myself some energy & keep things a little simpler for now. So I used my trusty Pamela's Baking Mix and adapted the drop biscuit recipe, which I've made many times so I know how good & easy it is. I'm pleased to announce it came out awesome! I made the topping like...
  17. Wheatfreeleeshy
    Thanks so much for all the tips! I've heard the thing about weighing your flours from a few sources now so I went for it!! I found a digital one with good reviews for $15 on Amazon and it arrived today! Can't wait to try it. Question for you & the group... What do you think of using cornstarch instead of potato starch? In the Featherlight Flour blend...

    Hi guys! I love gingersnaps but have never found any in stores that are to my liking. I like them very gingery, moderately spiced with a nice molasses undertone but not very sweet. I started creating my own recipe, parsing together different recipes I found online and adding my own twist. I've gotten the flavor down now but I'm still having a little trouble...
  19. Wheatfreeleeshy
    That's where I get all my flours! I've been getting my vitamins, etc. from them for years and they're a very reputable company that's been around for decades. When I saw they started carrying health food & gluten-free items at such good prices I was so excited!! I almost never pay any shipping either because I always google coupon codes before ordering...
  20. Wheatfreeleeshy
    Yay! I look forward to receiving it in the mail! ;-D Very helpful - thanks so much!!
  21. Wheatfreeleeshy
    I've used Pamela's for years and love it but it's not great for all things. I discovered that the site I get my vitamins from (Swanson) has a bunch of different Bob's products cheaper than my health food store so I decided to try these new flours. Next time I make it I'll try making a tiny batch and omit the xanthan. Thanks for the help everyone!
  22. Wheatfreeleeshy
    All of the gluten-free recipes I've seen call for xanthan. How do you know when to skip it? I also read somewhere that tapioca starch can make it gummy. Was it maybe the combination of the tapioca & xanthan?? There were also air pockets in the finished product, like instead of filling the space it stuck to itself while baking.

    Hi! Boy am I relieved to have found this forum. I need help! I just started playing with baking totally from scratch (no mixes) and decided to attempt cobbler topping. Even though I thought I did everything according to the recipe and ratio instructions online - from reputable sources like gluten-free Goddess - it did not come out at all like I'd hoped. What...
  24. Wheatfreeleeshy
    I know this is an old thread but if you're still looking for a good biscuit recipe, I use Pamela's Baking Mix and just follow the recipe on the package. I know that sounds too easy but they come out seriously delicious. Crisp & crumbly on the outside, tender, buttery & soft on the inside.
  25. Wheatfreeleeshy
    Oh and FYI to all, I did email Pamelas and they said they do not have a choc cake recipe using the baking mix. I'll let you know how the BH&G recipe turns out! I found a recipe on another site for chocolate buttercream frosting using palm sugar. Exciting!
