I haven’t tried a new muffin recipe in ages, but boy am I glad I tried these! Gluten-free Snickerdoodle Pumpkin Muffins are a new favorite fall muffin! I’ll definitely be making these gluten-free pumpkin muffins every fall from now on! I’ve already made them several times this month! I’ve been posting so many apple recipes this month that it was time to bring a recipe that my pumpkin-loving readers would love! This gluten-free pumpkin muffin recipe is one I think you’ll want to try soon! I love gluten-free snickerdoodles. I love gluten-free pumpkin bars. So when I found these pumpkin snickerdoodle muffins on Pinterest, I knew I had to try them. This was such a good base recipe, that I hardly had to change a thing, but of course I adapted them to gluten-free and made some of my own changes to the recipe for my preferences. I adapted them to be gluten-free by using a good quality gluten-free flour blend. I made them once with Gluten-free Mama’s Almond Blend, and once with gfJules gluten-free flour blend– both times with perfect results! I included Amazon links to both, but you can also buy gfJules gluten-free flour directly. When gfJules flour is used, no additional binders are needed, as it has xanthan gum in it already. When using a flour blend like Gluten-free Mama’s, that doesn’t include any xanthan or guar gum, then you just add a bit of xanthan or guar gum like I’ve listed below. Just check your flour blend and see and make the change accordingly! These gluten-free pumpkin muffins have the perfect texture and just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. The cream of tartar, cinnamon, and the cinnamon sugar topping all put the snickerdoodle flavor twist to these muffins. Ok, all this talking about them has me craving them again! I need to go see if there are still any hiding in the freezer from the last batch! Yes, they do freeze well! As this recipe doesn’t use an entire can of pumpkin, you’ll have some leftover to use in another recipe. I recommend using it in my gluten-free pumpkin spice granola for a healthy choice. This gluten-free pumpkin banana bread looks so good! Or for a sweet treat, you could make these gluten-free pumpkin white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies! Seriously long name for seriously good cookies! I hope you’ll try these soon! Let me know if you do! If you make these and love them, please come back and give this recipe a 5 star rating in the recipe card! Feel free to comment with tips or to share any successful substitutions you made. These gluten-free pumpkin muffins have the perfect texture and just the right amount of pumpkin flavor. The cream of tartar, cinnamon, and the cinnamon sugar topping all put the snickerdoodle flavor twist to these muffins. If baking both pans at once, be sure to rotate pan positions partway through baking. *omit xanthan gum if your flour blend already includes xanthan gum or guar gum.

After much research I found this recipe. I made the muffins for my friend who is gluten free and now I'm making it for another friend who's gluten free. I used the Aldi gluten free baking mix and they turned out so very good! My friends loved them, I loved them and my very skeptical husband and boys wolfed them down. Thanks so much for the great recipe!

What can be used instead of the buttermilk? I have to go dairy free because of an allergy to milk and whey.

Now you've done it. I was being very disciplined today, trying to crank through all kinds of work to get ready for the Gluten Free Cookie Swap and then I see THIS! Thanks to you, I now must go to the kitchen and bake these muffins because I simply must have one NOW. I hope you're happy. :) xooxxoo

Can you use coconut sugar and coconut milk in this recipe? I'm staying away from white sugar
