How to Make Gluten-Free Bran Muffins
It’s easy to make these gluten-free bran muffins. Here are the steps:
-
Gather together your ingredients. Then preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Either grease or line your muffin tin for nine muffins. My preference is a silicone muffin pan.
-
Sift the first six ingredients, including baking powder and baking soda, into a mixing bowl.
-
In separate bowls, blend eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, butter/oil, brown sugar, and coconut sugar, then add to the dry ingredients.
-
Almond milk can be used as a substitute for buttermilk by mixing half unsweetened nondairy milk and half nondairy plain yogurt.
-
Add banana, dates, flax, bran, gluten free flour, and walnuts, and fill muffin cups till almost full.
-
Bake for 20 minutes. The muffin will be firm and golden.
Standard bran flakes are not gluten-free because they’re made from whole wheat. However, rice bran recipes abound and can add necessary fiber to a gluten-free diet.
You could also ask if raisin bran is gluten-free. The answer is no; raisin bran is not gluten-free because the bran source comes from wheat.
The good news is that I’m sharing a substitute for wheat bran. Rice bran is a good bran substitute.
Tupelo Honey tastes amazing in these muffins!
