My mom found this recipe over at Amy's
Simply Sugar & Gluten-free blog sometime before Thanksgiving. The original recipe was submitted in her Slightly Indulgent Tuesday's carnival by another blogger. Unfortunately when my mom printed out the recipe, it didn't say who made them! My mom was adventurous and made some edits to the recipe (go Mom!) which were spot on. So here is her
lovely delicious creation.
I cannot say enough of these muffins! They are incredibly moist and have
great flavor and texture. She was kind enough to ship me a whole package of these muffins when I was away at school over Thanksgiving. I shared them with all my "not gluten-free" friends and they LOVED them. They couldn't even tell they were gluten-free, and EVERY SINGLE person asked for the recipe. After much waiting, here it is! My mom also served them at her own Thanksgiving feast she hosted and NO ONE knew that they were gluten-free. The plate disappeared. Obviously people enjoyed them :)
We currently have a whole bag of these at our house in the freezer. Whenever we need a muffin fix we take one out and pop it into the toaster oven to warm up. All it takes is ten minutes and you have a warm yummy muffin. These freeze very well! This will definitely be my new "to-go-to" recipe when I need to make muffins. Which reminds me, I need to remake my
Morning Glory Muffin recipe without the grains and the sugar!

I'm going to try these today for my grandson. We are starting a new way of eating for him--grain free. This is perfect to help him make the change without suffering too much. Thank you!
Hey, I've just stumbled upon your site and I'm wondering if you happen to have a recipe index page?
These look amazing! And I love that they are grain free :) I have been looking for a yummy muffin recipe for bfast ;) THANKS!
Hmmm, I bet they are good! Pumpkin belongs in muffins!! :)
I love the idea of a grain-free muffin. Do you make your own almond flour or do you buy it?
Oh my gosh, these look great!! I will have to make these!
I have just had my first muffin still nice and warm from the oven and they are DELICIOUS! Thanks so much for the recipe. I think I'm going to go back and have another one :D
What's the yield on these? 12? 24?
See my ingredients page for questions on ingredient sources.
The yeild is probably more like 12-15 than 24. I cannot remember exactly
I just made these. Haven't tried them yet, but I'm sure they'll be delicious. They do, however look very different than yours. Why are yours so chunky looking? Do the ones shown have a lot of add-ins? I added raisins and mine still look much finer.
@Kristin - I am so glad you chose to make these muffins :) The reason mine look a big more chunky than yours do is because there is shredded/flaked real coconut with raisins as well. The first photograph is plain muffin with walnuts on top and it is rather "smooth" as you would say inside :) You haven't done anything wrong. It's just how the mix-ins photographed. Perhaps I could have smoothed the top down before baking too :)
I want to give these a shot Meagan! I will just do a substitute for my preferences with flax eggs and also unsweetened apple sauce for the oil. :) NIce job! Its looks like a great recipe! ;) !
Hi Meagan, I love these muffins and have been making them off and on for months. I'm wondering if you've ever tried making this into a cake using a springform cake pan? I was interested in trying to make this into a cake, but wasn't sure how. I have a great recipe for a maple syrup frosting that I wanted to try on it. Thanks in advance!
These are too delicious! I can't stop eating them!
