Gluten Free Cinnamon Streusel Muffin Mix - #MakeThatGlutenFree

Hey everyone, earlier this month I asked people to share what popular food item they'd like to see converted gluten free via using the hashtag #MakeThatGlutenFree.

This month I was talking with Stacy Rushton and we came up with the idea for a gluten free muffin mix. I really love the idea because I enjoy making my own flour blends, but it can be time consuming to measure 3-5 different ingredients to substitute for wheat flour. This is a great way of spending a little bit of time to mix dry ingredients and store them for later use. This recipe is also a really great gift for anyone who is gluten free.

Once the mix is made, I like to store it in glass jars and use them within 1-2 months. This recipe for the mix allows for 3 dozen muffins.

One tip whenever you're transferring dry ingredients from a large container to a smaller one (i.e. bowl to mason jar), use a folded piece of printer paper as a guard to prevent missing the smaller container.
