Notes
If you’re a fan of the goodness of Cherry Cobbler Muffins but want a gluten-free version don’t worry! You can easily make this recipe gluten-free. Without sacrificing any of the deliciousness or fun baking experience of the original.
Simply switch out the flour with your gluten-free flour mix. Opt for one that’s specifically made for 1:1 substitution to keep things straightforward. And ensure your muffins come out just, as light and tasty. Choosing a blend that includes xanthan gum is a good move. As it helps replicate the texture and stretchiness of gluten. Preventing your muffins from falling.
