โญ Gluten-Free Flour Blend with Xanthan Gum (Best Gluten-Free Option)
1 cup gluten-free flour blend plus 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum per 1 cup bread flourGluten-free blends lack gluten, so xanthan gum is added to mimic the binding and elasticity gluten provides. This helps trap air and maintain structure during baking.
Ensure the blend is suitable for muffins and contains starches and flours that absorb moisture well. Monitor batter consistency and avoid overmixing.
Muffins will be more crumbly and denser than those made with bread flour, with a different mouthfeel, but will be safe for gluten-intolerant individuals.
