💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Whisk oat flour with a 1:4 ratio of baking soda (1 tsp per cup flour) and let sit 5 minutes before adding wet ingredients to neutralize oat flour's natural acidity and maximize leavening power.technique1:4 ratio, 5 minutes
- ✓Use Greek yogurt at exactly room temperature (68-72°F) because cold yogurt will seize the batter and prevent proper gluten-free flour hydration, reducing rise by 30%.ingredient68-72°F
- ✓Add the second egg only after achieving a dense, cohesive batter because gluten-free batters need sequential binding - the first egg creates structure, the second adds moisture and lift.technique
- ✓Fill muffin cups exactly 2/3 full and bake immediately after mixing because gluten-free batters lose 40% of their leavening power within 10 minutes of liquid contact.timing2/3 full, 10 minutes
- ✓Don't open the oven door for the first 12 minutes at 205°C because gluten-free muffins need consistent steam pressure to set their delicate protein structure before the crust forms.timing12 minutes, 205°C
