Yield 12 muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup sorghum flour
1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour, blend (use a purchased blended flour with added gums)
4 teaspoons baking powder (gluten-free if required for diet)
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Grease or line a 12 hole muffin tin and pre-heat oven to 170°C /340°F (180°C if not a fan-forced oven)
  • Combine all of the dry ingredients, except apple, in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Add apple and lightly blend only until the apple is coated. Set aside.
  • Add all of the wet ingredients to a jug and whisk well.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry and lightly stir until just combined. Do not beat or over-mix as this will result in a tough dry muffin.
  • Pour into muffin cases and top each muffin with a pecan and sprinkle with sugar and ground cinnamon.
