The most important thing to note is that if a recipe calls for gluten free all purpose flour, you can use a different brand than the one listed, but make sure it has xanthan gum in the mix unless otherwise noted. Xanthan gum is an important ingredient for binding in gluten free baked goods.

This is generally due to over-mixing the batter, too much leavening agent, or too much liquid. Those are problems I usually encounter when testing a recipe, so you shouldn’t have any sunken middles if you follow the recipes!
