Texture fails.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overbaking. They dry out faster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skipping the cooling time. Texture improves as they set.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expecting identical texture to wheat flour\u2014close, but slightly different.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternatives &amp; Substitutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dairy-free? Use plant milk and oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Healthier? Use part almond flour (reduce liquid slightly).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweeter? Sprinkle sugar on top before baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protein boost? Add Greek yogurt (reduce milk slightly).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can turn this into blueberry, chocolate chip, lemon poppy seed\u2014whatever mood you\u2019re in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do they taste different?<\/strong><br>Nope. Just good muffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can I freeze them?<\/strong><br>Yes, they freeze well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why are mine crumbly?<\/strong><br>Not enough binder (xanthan gum) or overbaked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do I need special equipment?<\/strong><br>Nope.
