Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins – Recipe!

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Pumpkin season is in full swing and these gluten-free pumpkin muffins are soft and tender with an amazing crumb.  I had some friends visit this past weekend who eat gluten-free, so I whipped up a batch of these muffins one morning to enjoy for breakfast.  It’s a simple recipe and nowadays there are so many wonderful gluten-free flours to choose from.  I used cup-4-cup, but King Arthur Baking Company makes a nice version as well.  Either way, these muffins bake-up beautifully – they taste as delicious as traditional pumpkin muffins.

I started as per my usual muffins – mix the wet and then add the dry and bake in a hot oven until puffed and golden brown.  Let rest in the pan for 15 minutes, so they don’t break apart when removing.  Serve warm or room temperature and don’t forget to slather with a little butter and a spoonful of jam.
