Gluten Free Muffins With Cup4Cup

More muffins for you today! With both my girls eating homemade muffins for breakfast, and sometimes for snacks, I easily make a batch a week. Having recently switched our youngest daughter to a gluten free diet, I’m trying my hand at gluten free baking, which can be a bit frustrating sometimes. I recently came across a gluten free flour mix called Cup4Cup that measures exactly like flour does, making it super easy to use in recipes in place of all purpose or whole wheat flour. I used it to make some fabulous gluten free cinnamon rolls, and I figured that given our love of muffins, it was time for a gluten free muffin recipe with Cup4Cup. By the way, if you are fine with gluten, just use all purpose flour in place of the Cup4Cup Gluten Free Flour.

I think we can say these were a success! While I’ve made quite a few gluten free muffins using oat flour, they just don’t rise up and dome nicely the way I like. Clearly using Cup4Cup gives me that wonderful big, pretty bakery style muffin.

These are a gluten free take on one of my favorite chocolate muffin recipes. They were a hit with everyone in the house, and you would never (ever) know that they were gluten free. They taste just like a delicious chocolate muffin, nothing funky, gritty or different about them at all. While only one of us is eating completely gluten free, the reality is that making different recipes for us to eat isn’t very practical, so whatever I make has to go over well with everyone in the house, which isn’t easy with picky eaters. These muffins totally passed the picky (flour eater) test.

You can pull this recipe together in no time, and the Cup4Cup flour worked wonderfully. It’s great to have a nice gluten free flour that doesn’t require extra math or kitchen science, just swap it out for your all purpose flour in recipes. You can find Cup4Cup on Amazon, at select stores (I picked some up at Sprouts) and from the Cup4Cup website.
