Ingredients

    gluten free flour, sunflower seeds, sugar, guar gum, xantham gum, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, applesauce, butter, flax seeds, milk alternative, oats

Tips

I modified a more traditional oatmeal applesauce muffin recipe to meet my gluten free needs and what I had in the kitchen. Try 3 eggs instead of the flax/milk combo.

Also I reduced the sugar of the original recipe because it was much to sweet. Instead I opted for putting 1 tsp of home-made low sugar plum jam (made with pamona's pectin) in the middle of each treat.

I call these CANDAY muffins not because of any relation to candy but because I made both the applesauce and plum jam on Mondays through the canning season with a dear friend. We called Mondays, CANDAYS. We are now both applesauce and plum jam experts. I swear.


Directions

In another bowl mix applesauce, butter, ground flax and milk alternatives.

Fill up 3 greased muffin tins about 3/4 of the way full and bake for 18-20 minutes.
