SEEDED MORNING GLORY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the Gluten-Free Flour Blend, quinoa flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and whisk to combine. Add the carrots, apple, pineapple, raisins, coconut and sunflower seeds; stir to coat.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the tops evenly with sesame seeds. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the muffins cool completely in the muffin pan set on a rack.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum and salt.

ORANGE-SCENTED ALMOND AND OLIVE OIL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Using a hand mixer on medium speed, in a medium bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Beat in the orange zest and juice, olive oil, yogurt, vanilla, and almond extract.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and almond flours, baking powder, and salt.
• In batches, stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just blended. Stir in the almonds. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Bake until golden on top and a tester inserted into the center of the muffins comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving.

CITRUS-SCENTED SEEDED MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 24-cup mini muffin pan.
• Whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine oil, rice syrup and erythritol in a small saucepan and cook, stirring, until the granules dissolve, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in zests, juices and vanilla. Mix into dry ingredients and slowly mix in almond milk until a smooth batter forms. Fold in seeds until incorporated through the batter. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling cups two-thirds full.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops of the muffins spring back to the touch. Cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing the muffins from the cups. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely. (You can freeze and thaw these in pairs so you won't be tempted to eat the whole batch.)
