I have made the full version and half version of this recipe. They stay really moist, and are definitely high in fibre. I only use sugar in the recipe, as I don't use artificial sweeteners, This is just my personal choice. My muffins didn't appear as nice looking as the posted photo, as they were a little uneven on top, but they still tasted great. Next time, I might try to cut back a bit on the xanthan gum, as maybe my batter was a little too thick. I might also consider adding a little cinnamon.

I've been experimenting with gluten free cooking since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1988. My sweet tooth made me highly motivated to convert my favorite recipes.
My husband and I have been married 30 years. Our two grown children have vacated the house, which frees up more furniture for our three cats to sleep on.
At the moment I've been waiting for a double lung transplant for 2 years, 7 months. Not much energy for cooking, so fast and easy recipes are a must.
