Number Of Ingredients 19

Wet Ingredients
1/4 cup milk (room temperature)
1 Tbsp white vinegar
2 eggs (room temperature)
1 egg yolk (room temperature)
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
Dry Ingredients
1 cup white rice flour
1 1/2 cup brown rice flour
1 tsp xantham gum
4 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup flax seed
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 18 muffin tins. 2. Put milk and vinegar together in a small bowl, stir and set aside. 3. Beat brown and white sugar with butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer or stand mixer until creamy and smooth. 4. Add eggs, egg yolk, soured milk, and vanilla; beat until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. 5. Mix rice flour, xantham gum, flax seed, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. 6. Slowly stir flour mixture into creamed butter mixture until just mixed. 7. Mix in walnuts and dried cranberry. 8. Scoop batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. 9. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Frozen cranberries can be used without thawing. Fresh cranberries should be rinsed and sorted before using.
  • Chop the walnuts finely. This will help distribute them evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Use a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum. Xanthan gum helps to bind the ingredients together and create a tender crumb.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing while baking.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on your oven.
