Gluten Free Savory Muffins for the WIN!
This gluten free muffins recipe is a simple meal to make without the wheat. I’m all about making recipes gluten free when I can.

By building meals around gluten free pantry staples and swapping in a few wheat-less ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.

What’s In These Tomato Basil Chickpea Muffins Recipe?
I get fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!
- Chickpea Flour: also called basan or gram flour. I stocked up on a huge bag of this amazing chickpea flour, and I’ve been making tons of these amazing muffins. Chickpea flour is super high in protein, and you can use it to make these muffins, in regular baking, or to make delicious breakfast scrambles.
- Nutritional Yeast: I like adding delicious nutritional yeast for a savory cheesy flavor to my dishes. Nutritional yeast is different than active baking yeast, so make sure you are getting the correct kind!
- Garlic powder: adds a little pop of flavor to these muffins, I always keep garlic powder well-stocked in our spice cabinet.
- Baking Powder: I like using a reduced sodium baking powder in all my baking, just to cut back on the sodium we take in. The baking powder is an essential ingredient, and will help these muffins rise and become lighter and more airy.
- Diced Tomatoes: I only use no salt added diced tomatoes, these boxed tomatoes are really great to stock up on! I like boxed tomatoes better because they are BPA free and more eco-friendly than aluminum cans.
- Basil: you can use fresh or dried basil (I used both!)
- Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.
- Red Pepper Flakes: for a little spice and heat

How Do I Make Chickpea Flour Muffins Recipe?
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a muffin pan and set aside, online cups with muffin liners.
- Mix all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl, batter should have a very liquid-y consistency.
- Evenly pour batter into the muffin cups. Bake for 25 minutes. The sides of the muffins should just begin to brown and pull away from the muffin pan. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool before eating.
- If you eat the muffins warm, straight from the oven, they may have a softer center. Allow to cool and they will firm up. Mangia!
