Dine and dash on gluten-free muffins

A quick post here from chez Real Food Made Easy.  Ive been baking quite a bit lately — testing gluten-free recipes and all, but haven’t been taking the time to document, so here’s a quickie for you :0 !

I like my muffins “muffiny” –  a bit dense and craggy, none of these fluffy concoctions (dammit it, if I want a cupcake, I’ll eat a cupcake) you see masquerading as muffins!  The base of these is millet, with a bit of tang from buttermilk.  They have some chocolate chips tossed in to make them a little bit treat-like, BUT a bit of almond meal and flax seed to make you not feel so guilty!

gluten free chocolate chip muffinHere’s the final list of ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup millet
  • 3/4 cup potato starch
  • 3/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons golden flaxseed meal
  • 2 Tablespoons almond flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon xantham gum
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

These would also be good with blueberries and lemon, or cranberry and orange.
