What helps gluten-free muffins rise?

Gluten-free muffins need some extra baking powder and baking soda. The combination of these two ingredients makes a huge difference.

I found out using 1 tsp baking powder and 1/3 tsp of baking soda can make your muffins REALLY fluffy. But if your batter is thicker, you can use 2 tsp of baking powder easily.

Just be careful with baking soda. It can have such a strong taste. Make sure you are not using more than 1/3-1/2 tsp of baking soda.

For this recipe, you will need to make a flax egg first.

Making a flax egg is so easy to make. Just mix 1 tbsp of flax meal with 4-5 tbsp of water and set aside. After 4-8 minutes the gel should be formed.

Meanwhile with a hand mixer whish vegan margarine into a fluffy consistency. Add powdered sugar and his until smooth.

Then add flax meal and vanilla and whisk until light and airy.

When the consistency is super light, add flours, starch, baking powder, salt, and carefully combine.

Lastly, gradually add soy milk and lemon juice. The batter should be light and smooth. Something similar to a thicker pancake batter.

The last step is to add cranberries and chocolate chips.

Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Enjoy warm.
