It snowed today in Toronto - I almost cried. Bill and I were at a coffee shop near our place and I was wearing a short sleeved sweater, three-quarter length pants and no socks. Needless to say, I am unwilling to accept that winter is coming. Anyways, to make myself feel better I made muffins. They are pretty healthy as muffins go - no butter, tiny bit of oil and just a little honey as a sweetener and they are gluten-free (of course)!
These muffins are a bit more "bouncy" (the descriptive word chosen by Bill - he's amazing) than the banana muffins posted a few weeks ago! The cinnamon and apple combo makes them delicious and autumny.
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2) Mix together
1 cup rice flour
1 cup gluten free flour mix
1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
3 cups oats
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
3) In a separate bowl combine
2 whole eggs
2 egg whites
2 tbsp canola oil
1/3 cup honey
1 cup yoghurt
1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1/2 cup grated apples
1/4 cup grated carrots
4) Combine wet and dry ingredients and add 1/2 cup of raisins or chocolate chips or nuts or all three!
5) Pour into (greased/parchment lined) muffin tins or a loaf pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until tooth-pick comes out clean!
6) If you are in the mood to be a little less health conscious - spice it up. In a small sauce pan combine 1/3 cup butter, 1/3 cup honey and 1 tsp of cinnamon - heat on low until melted and combined. When muffins/loaf come out of the oven drizzle with honey butter. mmmm!!
