Gluten-Free Honey Muffins

Imagine a dollop of allergen-friendly butter on these warm, fluffy Gluten-Free Honey Muffins! It is such a treat! In addition to being gluten-free and dairy-free, these muffins are egg-free, too! {Vegan + Gluten-free} 

Spiriteds, we gotta talk about the Gluten-Free Honey Muffins. Because, OMIGOD, they are the surprise recipe of the season! They weren’t even supposed to be a thing, but when I played around with different gluten-free flours to make Gluten-Free Strawberry Shortcake Bars, I had an epiphany. What would this dough taste like as muffins?

Try warm, comforting, soft, chewy, flaky, and sweet. 

Gluten-Free Honey Muffins have just the right amount of fluff, and when you slice them in half, add allergen-friendly butter, and watch that buttery goodness melt upon contact? Well, it’s nothing short of straight up magic.

We are obsessed over here. These gluten-free muffins taste like an expensive version sold at our local grocery store. They also taste like the muffins and rolls at a local country-style restaurant (also not cheap). And yet, with this recipe, we get the same delicious, buttery-sweet flavor inside our own kitchens. And all without dairy, eggs, or gluten. Yes, I’m dead serious.

If we decide we want Gluten-Free Honey Muffins on a Friday night, we can DO SO. If we want them on Tuesday morning because we said so, WE CAN FULFILL OUR OWN CULINARY DESTINY. We ARE the bosses of ourselves. 

If you are up for some egg-free baking, then put your eyes on these muffins and let’s get moving!

Gluten-Free Honey Muffins ingredients

• Gluten-free flour. You will get vastly different muffins, depending on the gluten-free flour you choose. I like Bob’s Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour (not an affiliate mention). You may need to try several before finding the gluten-free flour that creates the result your tastebuds seek.
• Monkfruit sweetener. I’m always looking for ways to change up the sweeteners I use. Monkfruit sweetener is extremely sweet. But it’s perfect in this recipe! And you don’t need a lot to make the recipe work.
• Honey. About one to two tablespoons.
• Baking powder and sea salt. A tablespoon of baking powder and a pinch or so of sea salt, and you’re set!
• Almond milk. I choose unsweetened and let the other ingredients sweeten the deal! 
• Lemon juice. I often add this to the almond milk and add them to the dry ingredients at the same time.

Tips to make Gluten-Free Honey Muffins

• A potato masher does an excellent job of mixing all the ingredients in this recipe.
• To prevent the muffins from sticking to the baking cups, use silicon cups or aluminum foil cups. Alternatively, you can lightly spray the bottoms and the sides of paper baking cups with non-stick spray, or grease the muffin pan with coconut oil and a spritz of gluten-free flour.
• Try to make the muffins as uniform in size as possible when filling the slots. This will make the baking process easier. If you end up with some muffins that are larger and some that are tinier, then transfer some of the batter from the larger muffins to the smaller muffins prior to baking. You’ll find that different-sized muffins have their own baking times, which is tricky to manage when some are under-cooked and others are raw.

NOTE: These muffins are best enjoyed straight out of the oven. They may change in consistency over several hours and potentially lose some of their fluffiness.
