Servings 16

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ c millet flour
  • ½ c sweet rice flour
  • ⅓ c potato starch
  • ¼ c tapioca starch
  • ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs room temp
  • 1 ⅔ c pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • ¼ c coconut oil melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅔ c honey
  • ½ c Greek Yogurt
  • ½ c chopped dried cranberries
  • ½ c chopped walnuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 deg. Prepare a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Mix the millet and rice flours with the tapioca and potato starches and xanthan gum in a large bowl. Make sure it is well blended. Add the baking soda, powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Set aside.
  • In another bowl whisk the eggs and vanilla together, then add the pumpkin puree and coconut oil and make sure they are well blended. It is important that these are all room temp so the coconut oil doesn’t solidify as soon as its mixed in. Add in the honey and yogurt and mix well
  • Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture and fold very gently just to incorporate; you don’t want t over mix. Add in the cranberries and walnuts and fold gently until no flour streaks are left, again don’t over mix
  • Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, about ¾c of the way full. Bake for 16-18 min or until a tooth pick comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 min then on a wire cooling rack until cool enough to eat.

Notes

I use all organic ingredients as much as possible and the flours I use are all organic as well. These are really high quality flours and make for a great tasting muffin. The brands I use are Arrowhead Mills, Bob's Red Mill and Authentic Foods. I find these at Whole Foods market or the natural/health food section of my local grocery store. I am not sponsored by these products, I just really love to use them
