Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

There's something right about pumpkin and spices and maple. These pumpkin muffins are simply sweet and delightfully delicious. And they got a thumbs up from the kids. You can't beat that!

Ingredients
3/4 cup pumpkin
2 eggs
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1/2 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup potato flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t cream of tartar
1/4 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/4 t ginger

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners and lightly spray with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, oil, and maple syrup. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix together flours, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and spices.

Stir dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture until just blended.

Spoon into prepared muffin cups until halfway full.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
