Gluten Free Rhubarb Streusel Muffins

Muffins are the easiest thing to make when you're new to gluten free. Make the same recipes over and over trying different gluten free flour blends until you know what you like. I use my homemade blend for these muffins and you can find the recipe for it in the notes below.

  • 2 teaspoon melted butter

Instructions

  • Use a portion scoop to fill 12 paper-lined muffin tins.

STREUSEL TOPPING

  • In a small bowl combine sugar, walnuts, cinnamon and butter. Stir with a fork until well combined. Top each muffin with a spoonful of streusel topping.
  • Bake muffins in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until browned around the edges.
  • Cool on baking rack for 2 minutes then remove muffins from pan and cool completely. Store in airtight container or freeze.

Notes

*EGFG flour blend: 300g sweet rice flour, 300g potato starch, 200g sorghum flour, 200g millet flour (makes ~8 cups)
  • To save time streusel can be folded into the muffin batter instead of putting it on top of each muffin.
  • If you don't want to use all the streusel store the excess in the freezer.
  • Do not thaw rhubarb. Fold it into the batter frozen or partially thawed and it will cook to perfection.
