Special instructions

  • I love muffins--built in portion control! Since I bake gluten free, I rely on fruits and vegetables like bananas to ensure a rich, moist product. There are many gluten free flour substitutes (sorghum, rice, soy, quinoa, etc.), but a mixture of gluten free flours usually produces the best results, so I rely on Bob's Red Mill or Arrowhead Mills baking and bread flour mixes.
