A question about a recipe: Chia & Blueberry Muffins

I have a question about the ingredient "gluten-free, all-purpose baking flour" on the recipe "Chia & Blueberry Muffins" from Weird & Ravenous. If I don't care about making these gluten-free and I use regular AP Flour, do I still need the xantham gum? I don't want to buy a whole bag for 1/2 tsp.

Somewhere I read that rice flour requires more liquid than wheat flour when baking, so you might need less liquid.

Yes, we agree with the above! Thanks Sarah and Kristen. You could definitely skip the xanthan if you are using regular all-purpose flour. Let us know how they come out!

I agree with both the above -- good news, huh?! :) (not that I agree, but that you don't need xanthan)

Yep skip the xantham - its only function is to attempt to replicate gluten, which you'll have in your regular AP flour.

I think you could definitely skip the xantham gum if you try with AP flour. Let us know how you like them!
