Samantha,
I can't pretend to have the secret to perfect muffins, but have
found that if I treat the batter VERY carefully (i.e. next-to-no stirring),
they don't tend to be as rubbery/chewy when finished. The more gluten-free
products you add, the more tender they become, as well. Instead of actually
stirring the batter, I "lift and turn" it until it's fairly well mixed. I
also use more baking powder than the original recipes called for to
compensate for the loss of the eggs (I'm vegan); just be careful not to add
too much or they taste whangy (that's a real word in Missouri). Good luck!
