Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make my own muffin liners?
Cut 12 pieces of parchment paper that measure 5×5 inches. Place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of a glass, then use your hands to press the parchment paper along the sides of the glass. This will create the shape of the liner. Place the liners in the muffin tin. It’s okay if they don’t fit perfectly. The batter will hold the liner in the muffin tin, once added.
Can I use gluten free flour?
Yes, you can use a gluten free all-purpose blend flour in this recipe in a one to one ratio. I recommend using Bob’s Red Mill or King Arthur’s gluten free all-purpose blend.

Notes
- To make your own muffin liners: cut out 12 squares of parchment paper, measuring 5 inches x 5 inches. Place a cup upside down on the counter. Place one square of parchment paper on top of the cup and use your hands to push the sides of the parchment paper down. This will help shape the parchment paper to fit into the muffin tin. Place the liner in the muffin tin. It may not stay down completely, but once you add the muffin batter, it will stay down in the muffin tin.
- Where to find fancy parchment paper for muffin liners: I get my parchment paper on Amazon. You can type “newspaper printed parchment paper” into the search box, and you should find a bunch of different options to choose from.
