FAILSAFE Maple Muffins
FAILSAFE Maple Muffins that are gluten free, dairy free, and full of delicious flavor!
I’ve officially cracked the code on the maple muffins!
After 4 wildly different attempts, they are finally the exact kind of muffin we want: light and fluffy, yet moist and flavorful, with a sweet but not overly sweet kick from the maple syrup. It felt like a complete unicorn of a task, so taking that first bite of the FAILSAFE Maple Muffins and discovering their fluffy awesomeness was *extra* sweet (ahem).
Some notes:
My go-to flour blend is the gluten-free all-purpose blend from Silvana’s Kitchen. I pretty much use it for everything at this point.
It does need a little help to rise for muffins, however, so I added in some baking powder and extra xanthan gum. If you’re using a different gluten flour blend for these FAILSAFE Maple Muffins that already has xanthan gum in it, you may not need the full amount listed in the recipe. So feel free to play around with that or omit it altogether.
Also, I used 1/4 cup of maple syrup here and it’s just the right amount of sweetness for us. You could probably up it to 1/3 cup if you wanted to have a little stronger maple syrup flavor to your muffins. I wouldn’t go any more than that, though.
