tips to make Gluten Free Muffins

Check that your gluten-free flour blend has xanthan gum in it, as this helps provide structure.
For added flavor, try mixing in some cinnamon or nutmeg.
Avoid overmixing the batter; this will keep the muffins light and fluffy.
If you want to add fruit or chocolate chips, gently fold them in at the end.
