Best ever Gluten Free Carrot Muffins

Over a number of years I have been making these wonderful little muffins I once found in a mini Pillsbury recipe book.  I make them often.  Okay, a lot!  They are simply my favorite muffin, and I love muffins.  These are loaded with carrots, (the main ingredient, hence the title) but it also has apples, coconut, walnuts, and I replaced the raisins with dried blueberries.  (I like raisins but these dried blueberries just seem to add the perfect touch to these.)

However, this time around I switched it up a bit.  To gluten free!  I’ve been experimenting with gluten free baking and cooking mainly since my daughter is currently gluten free and I was curious as to trying it out myself.  I started researching other posts and articles on gf-people and tips on how they started out.  As well as ingredient ratios, etc.

I happened upon a post on mixing your own “all purpose gluten free flour mix” vs buying it.  It will save you money and since doing this method, I have been more successful with the outcome of most recipes using this mix versus the “already” mixed all purpose gluten free flour blend.  This method will give you several cups of ready to use all purpose.  It was posted here and I followed her steps to a “t”!

Since mixing it up and having it readily available, I have used it for gravy based recipes like my Cottage Pie (recipe to come), and for the “creamy” part of a potatoes au gratin dish as well as a homemade bread that I used in the Praline Bread Pudding for our Fall Brunch.  Everything has turned out AMAZING!
