Wet Ingredients
1/4 cup milk (room temperature)

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.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

- Muffin Batter Consistency: The ideal muffin batter should be thick and pourable, resembling pancake batter. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in dense muffins. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of almond milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. - Muffin Pan Preparation: Ensure your muffin pan is properly greased or lined with paper liners to prevent muffins from sticking. This will also make it easier to remove them once baked. - Baking Time and Temperature: The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven. Start checking for doneness a few minutes before the recommended time. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, the muffins are done. - Cooling and Storing: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
