Gluten & Dairy Free Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

[Barefoot~Baker]

I adapted a recipe and made them yesterday, they are so good I had to share! Your house will smell wonderful if you bake these.

Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins
Gluten & Dairy Free

Makes 1 dozen

1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup white rice flour
1/4 cup potato starch
1/4 cup tapioca starch
3/8 tsp xanthan gum
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup soymilk
1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large egg
2/3 cup fresh or dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 375°.

In a measuring cup or small bowl, combine the soymilk and vinegar, and set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients and mix well.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soymilk and remaining ingredients (except for the cranberries) and beat well.

Add the flour mixture to sugar mixture; beat just until combined. Fold in cranberries.

Grease a muffin tin and spoon in the batter.

Bake for 25 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Remove muffins from pan and immediately place on a wire rack.

Yum! Except we can't do the potato starch or cornstarch...do you think I can do 1/2 cup tapioca instead and then what can I put in place of cornstarch?

[kjbrown92]

arrowroot starch or sweet potato starch. If you can't do cornstarch though, then you probably can't do xanthan gum either. Do you have another gum?

I wish I'd seen this earlier. I have cranberry walnut bread in the oven now, and I had to figure it out from scratch. Dang.

I think you could do that, and just use more rice flour in place of the cornstarch.

Do you have a recipe?

Thanks for answering my question about the cornstarch and potato starch! I thought I had a can of pumpkin in the cupboard, but I used that for pumpkin spice lattes, so I'll have to go to the store later!!

This sounds good, what did the texture end up being like? Dense? wet? light? I'd love to find something thats comparable to the ones I've been making from the Betty Crocker GF mixes, the texture is amazing, the price, not so much.

I think we might be out of regular dried cranberries, think orange flavored ones would be good in them?

[kjbrown92]

Mine actually came out really good. Moist. Ate half the loaf (oops). Stayed together pretty well. But DD2 wants to play Dora on the computer, so I'll post later.
