Gluten Free Dairy Free Lemon Raspberry Muffins

GFDF Lemon Raspberry Muffins

This recipe was inspired by Tastes Better from Scratch.

We made these recently for my son’s birthday party. I don’t think any of the guests even knew they were gluten free. They were incredibly tasty!

Ingredients
1/2 cup organic tapioca starch
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup organic brown rice flour
1/2 cup organic sorghum flour
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 cup organic evaporated cane juice (aka sugar)
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 organic eggs, lightly beaten
7/8 cup rice milk (or other milk substitute of your choice)
1 Tbsp organic lemon juice
1 Tbsp grated organic lemon zest (this was about 4 small lemons)
1/2 cup organic canola oil
2 cups fresh organic raspberries

For the glaze (optional)
3/4 cup organic powdered sugar
1-2 Tbsp fresh organic lemon juice

Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Mix together the beaten eggs, 1T lemon juice, rice milk, canola oil, and sugar on one bowl. In another bowl, combined together tapioca starch, almond meal, brown rice flour, sorghum flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and lemon zest. Slowly add the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring as you do. Gently fold in the raspberries.

Grease a muffin tin well with additional canola oil or spray. Fill 15-16 muffin cups about 3/4 full; these muffins will not rise too much. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 18 minutes or until the top is gently browned. The inside may still be a bit moist because of the raspberries, so a toothpick test is a bit difficult on them.

Allow to cool about 15 minutes before removing from the pan carefully, using a knife to separate from the top. You may lose a few crumbs in the bottom of the pan, but those are free of calories and meant for the cook. You should allow the muffins to cool fully before glazing, if desired.

For the glaze (optional):
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until it reaches the consistency you want. Delicately drip the glaze over the muffins in an artistic fashion. Try not to eat them all at once!

GF Muffins That Don’t Taste Like Donuts

At some point I came across a recipe on the internet for “Muffins That Taste Like Donuts.”  The recipe looked great, so I made it.  My oldest son ate a few bites and said, “They don’t taste like donuts, but they are really good!”  We all agreed, and so it went into the binder of recipes to keep.  The gluten free version I’ve created actually does taste more like a donut than the gluten version, but it still isn’t quite a donut.

GF Muffins That Don’t Taste Like Donuts
Inspired by Muffins That Taste Like Donuts.

Dry Ingredients:
½ cup organic tapioca starch
½ cup organic brown rice flour
¼ cup organic millet flour
¼ cup almond meal
½ cup sorghum flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon organic ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon organic ground cinnamon
1/2 cup organic light brown sugar

Wet Ingredients:
⅓ cup organic canola oil
1 large organic egg
¾ cup organic rice milk
1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract

Topping:
3 tablespoons organic butter, melted*
1/4 cup organic granulated sugar
1 tablespoon organic cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F.  Use canola oil to oil a 12 muffin cup pan.  Set aside.

Prepare the topping ingredients by melting the butter.  In another bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar.  Set both aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, mix together the wet ingredients.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly.  Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups.

Bake for 21-23 minutes.  Allow to cool for a few minutes, and then remove from the pan.  Allow to cool to a point that you can easily touch them.  Dip the top of the muffin into the butter, and then dip into the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

*You could substitute another fat such as margarine, coconut oil, palm shortening, or canola oil to make this completely dairy free.
