There great for making cookies, but I am not so keen on them for cakes and Muffins.  You still get that bitty texture of the rice flour that's part of the mix.  After some research my solution was to add Oat Flour. I use Oats a lot in my baking, especially in Muffins and Scones.  Finding out how easy it was to make Oat Flour was a revelation for me. ...
