Gluten Free Breakfast Muffins

Over the years, I've tested many recipes with gluten-free alternative flours and mixes and I have A LOT of delicious gluten-free breakfast ideas that are versions of breakfast classics, like these Morning Glory muffins! As good as the traditionals, the raisins and carrots add sweetness and texture to each bite, with a little flax for extra nutrition.

Ingredients

This muffin recipe calls for brown sugar, butter (or coconut oil), egg, milk, vanilla, flax meal, pumpkin spice, baking powder, salt, carrots, and golden raisins. My preferred GF flour substitute is this gluten-free 1:1 baking flour. If your GF flour mix does not have xanthan gum in the ingredients, you'll need to add ¼ teaspoon to this recipe with the dry ingredients.

How to Make GF Morning Glory Muffins

Preheat the oven.
While it preheats, grease a 12-count muffin pan or line it with foil liners.
Cream the brown sugar and butter.
Then, add the egg, milk, and vanilla, and combine on medium speed.
Combine the dry ingredients in another bowl.
This ensures an even distribution in the batter. Once done, slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Finally, add the grated carrot and raisins.
Bake to perfection for 12 to 15 minutes.
The muffins are ready when a toothpick comes out clean.

These healthy muffins are ready in less than 20 minutes. You can even make the batter the night before and prepare it in the muffin tin, so the next morning, the oven will take care of breakfast while you get everyone ready.

Ingredients

⅓ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup butter, or coconut oil (solid)
1 egg
¾ cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
1 ¼ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour mix
2 tablespoons flax meal
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin spice
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 medium carrots, grated
½ cup golden raisins

Instructions

Prep:

Preheat the oven to 350F and spray your muffin pan generously or line with foil liners.

Make the batter:

In a large bowl with a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the brown sugar and non-dairy spread.
Add the egg, non-dairy milk, and vanilla into the creamed butter and sugar. Mix on medium speed, pausing to scrape the sides until the mixture is combined.
In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, flax meal, pumpkin spice, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix at medium-low speed.
Once combined, add the grated carrot and raisins and fold to combine.
Scoop the batter into the muffin pan.

Bake:

Bake the muffins for 12 to 15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool down to room temperature.

Notes

If your all-purpose gluten-free flour does not have xanthan gum listed in the ingredients, I recommend you add ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum to the dry ingredients before mixing.
