Notes
If time allows, let the muffin batter rest! Hydrating gluten-free flour is an important step in gluten-free baking to eliminate grittiness. You can make the batter ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator for a few days to just bake up a few at a time.
Storage: Gluten-free baked goods do not have the same shelf-life as conventional baked goods. Store in airtight container on counter 1-2 days, refrigerate 3-5 days, or seal in plastic and place in freezer safe container for up to 6 months. When freezing, allow to come to room temperature before opening the container.
