These muffins are simple and delicious. As a side for a meal, part of breakfast or just a snack, these muffins are always a favorite in our house.

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups GF flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill 1:1)
• 2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup sugar plus 2 TBSP for sprinkling on top
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup melted lard or coconut oil (you can also use a vegetable or canola oil)
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Optional: Berries (we like blueberries) or chocolate chips

Makes: 15-18 muffins

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Start by mixing the dry ingredients together.

In a separate bowl/measuring cup, mix together the wet.

Combine the two together.

Dish out into prepared muffin pans. Add the optional berries or chips as desired. Since we like both in our household, I do this after distributing the batter and then use a toothpick to push the berries/chips down into the batter. Sprinkle the optional sugar over the top.

Place into preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. I always check them at this point and rotate if needed. If you used frozen berries you may need to bake those slightly longer.

They are done when they are golden and spring back to the touch. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes then cool the rest of the way on a cooling rack.

Everyone who has tried these muffins likes them better than muffins made with regular flour. They are so tender and delicious. Enjoy!
