Equipment
- Muffin pan
- Muffin cups
Ingredients
- 4 oz (or 1/2 cup) butter, softened at room temperature
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, such as Maldon
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 cups diced, peeled and frozen peaches
Ginger Crumb Topping
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3 ½ teaspoons cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup rice flour
Instructions
- About an hour before, take your butter out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 375° F. Add muffin cups to your muffin pan. Combine the flours, ginger, baking powder, salt, and sugars and stir. Make a well in the center of your bowl and add softened butter, eggs, vanilla & milk and hand stir. Then slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Once thoroughly combined, add the diced frozen peaches and stir. Make the crumb topping: Combine the dry ingredients and stir. Add butter and freshly grated ginger and mix with a fork until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. I find it best to use your fingers here to get a crumbly texture.
- Fill each lined muffin cup with batter all the way to the top. Sprinkle with crumb
topping for a sweet & spicy muffin top. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. - Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack for an extra 15 minutes or so before serving.
Notes
- My favorite mixture of flours for gluten free muffins is a combination of oat flour from Arrowhead Mills and brown rice flour from Bob's Red Mill.
- I prefer to use Kerrygold or Organic Valley butter since it's delicious and doesn't contain natural flavors.
- This combination of gluten free flours can easily be subbed out for the same amount of all purpose flour, however, the baking time will be shorter - closer to 30 minutes.
- These muffins can get dry if they're over-baked so don't hesitate to check them a little bit early if your oven cooks fast.
- These silicone baking cups are easy to clean and reuse!
