I took the original recipe found on this site and changed it up to be gluten-free and lower in sugar/fats. These muffins were highly praised, thinking these were too good to be gluten-free! I prefer to cut the fats and sugars in half by using applesauce and agave nectar.

I used Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour cut the sugar in half (per several reviews) and it was plenty of sugar. Since I didn't have quite the amount of chocolate chips I used a bit less and will probably cut in half next time since my gluten free son eats these as part of a breakfast he did exclaim several times "these are the best muffins ever!".

I substituted coconut flour in this recipe and I think that was a mistake. I did not realize how absorbent coconut flour is and my muffins are like little bread lumps. Perhaps I'll use a mixture of coconut flour and flax meal next time. My family is brand new to the world of gluten free foods. My toddler was diagnosed with Celiac's recently and I'd rather prepare her food from scratch instead of buying processed over priced gluten free snacks in the grocery store. Many of the recipes I'm trying take a little practice but I'll figure it out. Even though the muffins did not turn out as planned they smell amazing! Read More

Great tasting muffin! When I cooked them for 25 minutes they came out a little burnt so I would suggest cooking them for 20 minutes and keeping a careful eye on them Read More

A nice gluten-free muffin! I found them too sweet with 3/4 cup brown sugar so I will cut it down to 1/2 cup next time. When I looked at the original recipe 1/4 c. of the brown sugar was originally sprinkled on top with chopped pecans. I will just leave it out. I did substitute 1 cup of a raisin/craisin mix for the chocolate chips. The muffins were moist and delicious and enjoyed by wheat eaters as well as those of us on a gluten-free diet! Thanks for a "keeper"! Read More

It was really good for a gluten free muffin. I made half chocolate chip and half blueberry. It is a little on the sweeter side but I thought it was really good this way. I might try it with mashed banana instead of apple sauce next time to switch it up. All and all a great recipe that I will use again. Thank you! Read More

These muffins came out AMAZING!!! Better than my regular muffins! I made this a few times with some small changes and they still came out perfect. I made them in mini muffin tray this is how I like to make our muffins most of the time. Tip: If you try different flours you might need to add more milk or water to it as some flours are more absorbent than others. Once you know the right consistency you can play around the recipe quite a lot like add shredded carrots or zucchini nuts or substitute mashed banana for the apple sauce etc. Read More
