Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup tapioca flour 1/2 cup sweet white sorghum flour 1/2 cup white rice flour 1/4 cup garbanzo and fava flour 1/4 cup potato starch flour 1 teaspoon gluten free baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon xanthan gum 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 1
Topping
1/4 cup ghee (measured melted) 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 14 regular-size muffin cups; spray paper cups with cooking spray (without flour).
  • In small bowl, mix all flours, the baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum and salt; set aside. In medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, oil, granulated sugar, vinegar and vanilla until well blended. Add flour mixture; stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in apricots. Divide evenly among muffin cups, filling each until batter is 1/2 inch from top of paper baking cup.
  • In another small bowl, mix topping ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over batter in cups.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until tops of muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Carefully remove paper baking cups.
  • Expert Tips
  • If you're substituting milk, try to find substitutes with the same fat content. Unsweetened almond or hemp seed milk works beautifully in baked recipes as a dairy substitute. Both are available at natural grocery stores.
  • Recipe Variation Gluten Free Cranberry Muffins with Almond Streusel Topping: Use dried cranberries in place of the apricots. Other dried fruits, such as cherries or blueberries, would also work well in these muffins.
