• 3/4 cup Uncle Crumbles Cinna-Maple Crunch granola 

Instructions

1. Warm Up: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Take a moment to admire their harmonious blend.

5. Fill the Muffin Cups: Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into each muffin cup. If desired, sprinkle extra granola or diced apple on top for a delightful finishing touch. 
6. Bake to Perfection: Bake at 375°F for 15-18 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Revel in the aromas wafting from your oven. 
7. Cool and Enjoy: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm with a pat of butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, or simply as they are—perfect in every bite.
