You probably know don’t have to miss out on all of the fun of baking whilst following a gluten-free diet.

10 Gluten Free Date Muffin Recipes

And if you’re looking for gluten-free date muffin recipes, you’re in the right place. This article, feature 10 gluten-free date muffin recipes for you to bake at home.

Let’s get started.

When people hear about gluten-free baking, they often shudder at the thought of dry, tasteless bakes. Sadly, gluten-free baking can sometimes be like that when you haven’t got the balance right.

The issue with using gluten-free flour in place of regular flour, is that standard recipes don’t account for the moisture that you can lose when using this alternative. And the result? Dry, bread and muffins with the texture of sawdust!

However, gluten-free baking doesn’t have to be like this. A good gluten-free recipe should account for this difference, and produce a perfectly acceptable baked item.

Gone are the days when gluten-free baking was boring. Just because you can’t eat gluten doesn’t mean that you have to feel left out.

Once you’ve got a few recipes under your belt, it is a lot easier than it seems and there are plenty of delicious gluten-free date muffins recipes out there.

Hopefully these 10 gluten-free date muffin recipes can change your thoughts on gluten-free baking.

1. Gluten-Free Date Pecan Muffins

This wonderful gluten-free recipe contains apples as well as dates and pecans for a nice crunch.

These gluten-free date pecan muffins are a great breakfast option. They have a nice sweet and nutty flavour and a great texture thanks to the combination of dates and apples.

This recipe is a great way to use up some leftover dates, and is a great way to get creative in the kitchen.

While these muffins can be made with any kind of dates, we recommend using Medjool dates for a super rich flavour. These sticky and sweet dates are truly heavenly, and work wonderfully in these muffins.

How To Store Gluten-Free Muffins?

You will need to store your gluten-free muffins in an airtight container.

How long they will last will largely depend on the recipe that you’re using, so make sure that you check the recipe carefully.

Do I Have To Use Muffin Liners When Making Muffins?

Not necessarily. Although muffin liners are very handy when making muffins, using them is a personal preference.

I personally like using muffin liners because your muffin then has a casing that it bakes into, and you don’t waste any of the mixture that could potentially get stuck to your muffin trays.

For a full range of Muffin Liners and Silicone Baking Cups, click here.

Alternatively, you might opt to use silicone muffin trays that you can grease with your choice of oil. Silicon muffin trays are great for this, as you can easily pop each muffin out.

When using metal muffin trays, however, the process of getting your muffins out of the tray can be a little trickier without muffin liners.

Do You Have To Use Gluten-Free Flour?

No, you don’t have to use gluten-free flour for every gluten-free recipe. While many gluten-free recipes do call for gluten-free flour, many don’t.

Instead, there are many that opt for almond flour as a substitute. If you don’t like using gluten-free flour in your bakes, and feel somewhat limited by this reality, then not all is lost!

There are plenty of recipes out there that don’t use gluten-free flour. So, get in the kitchen and start baking!

In Summary
