You cannot go wrong with this gluten-free plain muffin recipe. It uses ingredients like gluten-free flour, applesauce, eggs, oil and buttermilk. If you do not have buttermilk in your fridge simply add 1/2 Tbsp white vinegar to any milk of your choice. The sourness in the milk combined with the baking soda and powder aids in giving the muffin rise and sponginess.

There is simply nothing plain about this easy to make and quick gluten-free muffin recipe. The smell of fresh muffins baking is the best! You can make these gluten-free plain muffins in a regular sized muffin pan or switch to a mini muffin pan and make smaller ones. Kids love the mini gluten-free muffins in their lunch box.
