My Go To Muffin Recipe

This recipe is so flexible.  As long as you use the same total amount of flour, 3 cups, you can mix a different flour in and out depending on what your taster likes.  

You can add half as much vanilla and add something like coconut or almond extract.  

If you're not a fan of cinnamon, then use something else (nutmeg, cloves, ginger or nothing). 

Add-ins can be anything you like, but if you are diabetic like my husband and I try and stay away from dried fruits (like raisins) they are just little packets of sugar waiting to affect your glucose levels.  

The xanthan gum, arrowroot starch/flour, and tapioca starch/flour are essential to the recipe.  Since there is no gluten in these muffins, other ingredients must be added to hold them together.

Make sure the applesauce is made with no sugar added.

That being said, go make a batch and tell the rest of us how they turned out.

Sweet Potato-Apple Butter

I was at a craft show over the weekend and bought a small jar of Pumpkin-Apple Butter from one of the vendors.  Not at all on my diet and chalked full of those lectins I have give up.  Well, I bought it for some muffins I made to take to my Bible study and everyone loved it so I decided I had to find a way to manipulate the recipe so I could enjoy it too.  It was so simple of a conversion I didn't even finish a cup of tea while doing it!  It is full of all those traditional fall flavors so many of us love to eat.  Hope you enjoy it too.

Grain-Free Harvest-Spice Cookies

This is the time of the year I have traditionally loved cooking with pumpkin.  Since I am eating Lectin Free I have had to look for a way to meet that need by tricking my taste buds into believing I am eating pumpkin. My friend Shelly, who is eating a Keto diet, gave me a cookie yesterday at the quilting group we belong to.  One bite and I said, "I MUST HAVE THAT RECIPE!"  She sent me a link this morning. I manipulated it for my specific eating needs, went immediately to the kitchen, and this cookie is what I came up with.   If you can afford to cook with Monk Fruit, do so.  It has an awesome sweet flavor.  If not, then like me, mix Stevia and Swerve together as indicated in the recipe.  It will still give you an awesome soft cookie with all the traditional fall tastes we have grown to love.

Plant Paradox Friendly Peach and Pecan Muffins

I love my go-to muffins, but today I just needed something a little different.  Peaches, Pecans, and Nutmeg are the difference, plus I swapped out the sorghum flour for amaranth flour.  My homemade peach jam sweetened with stevia and erythritol is very good with them too! Have fun making and eating them!
