Helpful Kitchen Tools
How can you make sure that you make the most perfect muffin? Be prepared! Here are our favorite tools we use when we are baking muffins! when you have the right tools, life is easier!- Non-Stick Muffin Tin- We prefer to use a non-stick muffin tin most of the time. We spray the pan with coconut oil for good measure and pop it in the oven!
- Cooling Rack- We recommend placing your muffin on a cooling rack after letting the muffins sit for 5 minutes. This way they will not cool in the pan and stick to the sides of your muffin tin.
- Muffin Liners- If you do not have a non-stick muffin tin, we recommend using silicone muffin liners or paper muffin liners for easy removal!

This recipe was terrible! It tasted like garbage. So disappointed…I love some of your other bread/muffin recipes, but this was just awful.
Hey Hannah! Wondering if you used Simple Mills Banana Bread Mix or what changes you made? We’ve made this 5+ times and every time it comes out super moist and amazing!
Fast, easy, and delicious! Such a great one for when i want to bake something but not take a ton of time!
Hi😌👋🏼
How many cups gluten free mix for muffins I should take?
Thank u🙏🏽
Being not an experienced baker I took the “1package king arthur gluten free flour mix” literally and about half the box in realized eh, this mix must come in smaller than 24oz sizes? Lol I had to add the rest of the can of pumpkin, an extra egg, and more milk to compensate for the excessive amount of dry mix. Just a heads up for any other newbies like myself, maybe put the package size of baking mix in the recipe 🙂
Aside from that tasted great!
You said in your description that you used almond milk in this recipe but then down at the bottom it just says milk 🙂 I was wondering if you used that much almond milk as I would prefer to use that! I can’t wait to try these out tonight!
Yes! I used almond milk! I used the sweetened version (as there is no sugar in this recipe). Sorry for the confusion 😀
Thank you so much for the recipe. I used 1 1/2 cups of the King Arthur’s baking mix, added pumpkin pie spices & 1/2 cup stevia. Just baked a little longer. Loved them & will make again! All GMO free too!!!
Great additions! The whole purpose was to be able too include different add-ins just like you did! YAY!
I tried these and they didn’t taste very good, so I added some applesauce and a little brown sugar for some sweetness!
Hi Coral! Thanks so much for the feedback!
I was hoping this was a real 4 ingredient recipe…it’s a four item recipe. The boxed mix has 15 ingredients on it’s own, I really wish people would understand the difference between item and ingredient.
How many muffins does this recipe make?
That is a really good question, I can’t believe I didn’t write that down! By looking at the ingredients I’d say around 12 muffins (this recipe is from so many months ago!)
Hi what exactly do you mean by Pumpkin Puree?
Canned pumpkin is what I used! It’s literally pureed pumpkin in a can (I use the Whole Foods brand or Libby’s). You can make your own too, but it’s not exactly pumpkin season yet 😀
I made these tonight. They were AWESOME!! I did add some cinnamon and nutmeg and added more chocolate chips. Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
