  1. I like these alot and the recipe is forgiving of substitutions: I used molasses and stevia instead of brown sugar, ground flax and quinoa (since I don't have any whole), and I totally forgot the apple. I put the sunflower and pumpkin seeds in whole, cuz I like crunch. And they are good! I think I'll add a little more spice next time.
     
  2. Great muffins. A long ingredient list but they really came together surprisingly quickly. I love that these muffins use brown rice flour with the added quinoa, almond, flax and seeds for fibre (that you really cant taste is in these muffins at all either). I used xanthan gum as I dont have guar gum and when I went to add my raisins realised that I only had a pack of mixed dried fruits. I added the fruit and am glad that I did. As I said before great muffins and they really are incredibly moist and dont taste as though they are gluten-free at all. My daughters are both enjoying one each now as well. Thanks for a great recipe and I'll be back to post a photo a little later. *Reviewed for PAC Spring 08* :) :) :) :) :)

Our family is gluten, dairy, corn, soy and nightshade free and feel much better for the diet change. I decided early on to make cooking and baking a hobby so I wouldn't feel hard done by having to make everything from scratch. Our diet is so much better now. I'm thankful to this and other recipe sites and the many living without bloggers for their great ideas and inspiration. I've chosen not to become a premium member so thank you everyone for reviewing my recipes. I hope they were helpful. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
