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

Sugar and Spice Muffins

It feels like winter has hit again and I need something warm with sugar and spice and everything nice. These Sugar and Spice Muffins are reminiscent of Amish Friendship bread. If you need something sweet, this will definitely fit the bill. My daughter and I have decided these are the best. muffins. ever!

Ingredients
1/2 cup margarine
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 t vinegar + almond milk to fill 1 cup (to make "buttermilk")
1 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1 t baking soda

Cinnamon Sugar
2 T + 2t sugar
1 t cinnamon

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

Beat together margarine, sugar, and egg on medium speed. Add "buttermilk", flour, flaxseed, and baking soda. Beat until fully blended.

Place a spoonful of batter in the bottom of each muffin cup. Using half of the cinnamon sugar, sprinkle over batter in each muffin cup. Top with remaining batter. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.

Bake for 25 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Makes 12 muffins.
