Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (preferably with xanthan gum included)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

  4. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients gradually, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling about ¾ full. Use an ice cream scoop for even portions.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Allow muffins to cool completely before storing to maintain freshness.
