- 1⁄4 cup brown sugar (optional)
- 2 cups sweet rice flour

directions
- Microwave the buttermilk until almost warm.
- Add first 8 (or 9, if using brown sugar) ingredients to the bread machine in order given.
- Set the machine on "dough cycle".
- 5 minutes into the cycle, add in cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and vanilla.
- When cycle is complete, remove dough from bread maker and place in a greased mini muffin pan. Make sure not to over-fill, as the dough will rise quite a bit!
- Place 1 chocolate chip on the top of each muffin.
- Cover with 2 tea towels and let rise in a warm, sheltered area for 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375* F and bake for 7-8 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- While the muffins are baking, prepare the glaze by melting the butter and cinnamon together in a microwave (about 10 seconds should do the trick).
- Stir egg whites into glaze mixture.
- Remove muffins from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
- While the muffins are still warm (but chocolate chips are set), brush glaze overtop.
- Enjoy!

How I rate recipes:
5 star - WOW! This recipe was really good and exceeded my expectations. I made no or little changes to the recipe and will definitely make it again.
4 star - A very good recipe. I quite enjoyed it, but had to make a few changes here and there. All in all, it met my expectations. I will probably make it again.
3 star - An ok recipe. I liked it a bit, but had to make major changes. It may have a good flavour, but the texture was off or something. Usually I don't make three star recipes again.
2 star - I didn't enjoy this recipe. The flavour and texture was WAY off and so were the directions. I will not make this recipe again.
1 star - I don't give one stars! I think they are too mean!
