Notes:
*GF 1:1 flour blends can contain a vast difference of ingredients among brands. I have the best success with Bobs Red Mill Blue Bag 1:1 (thicker cookie).  Cup4Cup Brand GF Flour (thinner cookie). 
Different GF Flour brands with provide varying  results.
Muffins may be frozen, to defrost, leave out at room temperature for an hour.
Muffins can be stored on counter in air tight container for several days.

Top with Cream Cheese frosting or glaze of choice.
