Do you enjoy gluten free muffins?   Chances are if you buy them pre-made, you’re probably only getting things like blueberry muffins, chocolate chip muffins, etc.    If you want an interesting muffin, you’ll need to bake it yourself.

    Great recipe! I subbed teff & brown rice flour for the rice flour, and pecans for the walnuts, and the results were moist and delicious! This is one of those recipes where you don’t miss the gluten & dairy at all. I only baked mine for around 40 minutes and they were well-done. It seemed like a lot of orange zest, but the orange flavor is actually very subtle. Also, I wasn’t sure what “mixed spice” was, so I used pumpkin pie spice. I filled the muffin liners nearly to the top, and they didn’t rise much beyond that. I also thought the nut & raisin quantities were just right – I don’t like a lot of raisins, but they do add something.
