Mini Gluten Free Applesauce Cinnamon Muffins


I made these mini gluten free, dairy free, muffins in honor of new babies, two new baby boys to be exact, born days apart.  One new baby, Oskar, is for our new neighbors that moved up the the street recently. The other new baby, Antonio Valentino, is the first Grandchild of my dear blogging friend, Claudia @What's Cookin' Italian Style.  New babies are always special, but a first Grandchild will hold a special place in a Grandma's heart. Enjoy, Claudia. I had found out that the Mom on our street was Gluten Free, so I made these gluten free mini muffins with Trader Joe's, Baker Josef's, Gluten Free All Purpose Flour.


I had never baked anything gluten free before, but have been contemplating doing do for months. I was very pleased with the results, though I have no other GF flour comparisons. The All Purpose flour is a combination of whole grain rice flour, potato starch, rice flour, and tapioca flour. The muffins rose nicely, had a nice color, and were tender and tasty, and not heavy. I will definitely use the mix again for cookies, brownies, and pancakes.  The mix,which is only about 3 cups, and can be used cup for cup for all purpose wheat flour for $3.99.  I used the Apple Cinnamon Muffin recipe on the bag.  I topped the muffins with a dollop of Vanilla Glaze.  My gluten free baking journey is just beginning!

  7. I LOVE these muffins! I used the Agave syrup and adjusted for high altitude by adding 3T. of flour and adding an addition 1.5 T of liquid (I used soy milk). Very moist and delicious. They rose nicely and they weren't too sweet, which I like. I will definitely make them again!

  9. Singapura dan Hong Kong sudah setuju untuk buka travel bubble atau koridor perjalanan di antara ke-2 negara. Peraturan itu dipublikasikan pemerintahan Hong Kong pada Kamis, 15 Oktober 2020.

    Awalnya, negara tetangga Indonesia, Malaysia, terlebih dahulu menggamit Singapura untuk membuat travel bubble. Pola travel bubble dipandang seperti jalan keluar untuk tingkatkan lawatan pelancong pasca-pandemi virus corona.

    Travel bubble ialah saat dua ataupun lebih negara yang sukses mengatur virus corona setuju untuk membuat sebuah gelembung atau koridor perjalanan. https://pergi-piknik.com/ Gelembung ini akan mempermudah warga yang tinggal didalamnya lakukan perjalanan secara bebas dan menghindar kewajiban isolasi mandiri.
