2 Gluten Free Cinnamon Streusel Muffin Mix - #MakeThatGlutenFree


Hey everyone, earlier this month I asked people to share what popular food item they'd like to see converted gluten free via using the hashtag #MakeThatGlutenFree.

This month I was talking with Stacy Rushton and we came up with the idea for a gluten free muffin mix. I really love the idea because I enjoy making my own flour blends, but it can be time consuming to measure 3-5 different ingredients to substitute for wheat flour. This is a great way of spending a little bit of time to mix dry ingredients and store them for later use. This recipe is also a really great gift for anyone who is gluten free.

Once the mix is made, I like to store it in glass jars and use them within 1-2 months. This recipe for the mix allows for 3 dozen muffins.

One tip whenever you're transferring dry ingredients from a large container to a smaller one (i.e. bowl to mason jar), use a folded piece of printer paper as a guard to prevent missing the smaller container.

In a food processor pulse the topping mix and butter together until a crumble forms. Crumble on top of the muffin batter, and place in the oven. Bake for 18 minutes or until slightly browned on top.

  1. This looks great, T.R.! One question: I've seen rice flour and glutinous rice flour but never sweet rice flour. I'm guessing that sweet rice flour is my glutinous. Am I right?

  2. Correct! Sweet rice flour and glutinous rice flour are the same, and gluten free despite the misleading name.
