Fruit Medley Muffins - Gluten Free

Looking at our supply i was excited to realise it was time for me to do some more muffin baking!! But this time i was keen for something a little different. I have realised there are more and more people are becoming gluten intolerant, being a diligent muffin baker and almost obsessed with muffins (i admit it!!) i would hate to think of those who are gluten intolerant to miss out of life's little treats. So i had a trial of some healthy gluten free muffins which have no added sugar but full of fruity goodness! Thank you to my wonderful friend who helped me design the fruit medley recipe. I used rice flour and actually think i prefer it to normal flour! I can't wait for someone who is gluten intolerant to try them :)

Fruit Medley Muffins - Gluten Free

Ingredients

1 medium banana mashed

1 peeled and grated green apple

1 kiwi fruit chopped

1 teaspoon orange rind

Juice of one orange 

1 egg
½ cup (125ml) water
½ cup (125ml) vegetable oil

1 1/2 cups Rice flour (or any gluten free flour)
1 Tbsp coconut flour (if you have some)
1 Tbsp Chia seeds (optional)  

½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp bi-carb soda
2 tsp baking powder

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Method
1. Preheat an oven to 180 degrees C. Grease 18 muffin cups, or line with patty cups.

2. Mix together mashed banana, grated apple, kiwi fruit, orange rind and juice, lightly beaten egg, water, and oil in a large bowl until combined. 

Love the smell of grated orange!

Fruits.... :)

3. Mix in rice flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg, the mixture will be quite lumpy but as long as there are no flour lumps it is good :) Gently fold in the blueberries.

4. Scoop into prepared patty pans and top with a little cinnamon and shredded coconut and bake in moderate oven for 25 minutes until cooked through and lightly brown on top.

5. Enjoy! Eat them while still warm or keep in an airtight container for a few days, or i like to freeze them so they stay fresh and keep for my afternoon tea treat :)
