Yummy Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins

Submitted by WI Cheesehead

"I got the idea off of Econobusters, but changed it so much that it's pretty much my own now. For the GF flour mix, I use Recipe #391326 (with almond meal as the last ingredient - so there is some protein that doesn't show up in the nutrition). It rises really well, but needs to cool for awhile before eating."

I tried these this morning. I traded out the 1 cup of honey with 1/2 cup agave nectar & they are really good. Also had to improvise the pumpkin pie spice with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves & a bit of ginger. The texture & flavor were great even though they didn't rise much. They will be a perfect present for a friend of mine who is gluten intolerant!! I also think adding raisins would punch it up a notch IF you liked them.
