I don’t know about you, but I am a sucker for a good muffin! For a quick, grab-n-go breakfast, after school snack, or just a decadent dessert, they are the perfect treat!
Tips For Smooth Baking…
- My favorite flour to use is the Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 GF Baking Flour…. The results are incredible!! I buy mine off Amazon (link below), but you can also buy it in most grocery stores. Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour 22 oz (623 grams) Pkg
- The secret to the bakery style muffin tops is the temperature change! Going from really hot to a lower heat creates the perfect domes that every good muffin needs.
- DO NOT OVER MIX! The results are just sad. I mean who wants flat muffins… not me!
