Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Practical Homemaking 

Hurrah!  I conquered another Gluten-free muffin.  These are so yummy!  Or so says the Gluten-free-Snob-Queen (my mother).  :)  They are moist and not too sweet, with a zesty hint of lemon and the perfect touch of poppy seed nutty goodness.  They look gorgeous too.  They are worth baking just for the scrumptious aroma they fill the kitchen with.  Love these!  

If you are local I will be selling these over at Annie's Orchard every Saturday morning.  Stop by!  :)

Ingredients:

2 cups GFM's Rice Almond blend flour

2 tsp. Baking powder

1 1/4 tsp. Xanthan gum

¼ tsp. Salt

½ cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup vanilla yogurt

1 egg

1 Tbl. lemon juice

1 tsp poppy seeds

¼ cup raw milk

2 Tbsp. Sugar for sprinkling

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease muffin tins. In medium bowl combine dry ingredients and lightly whisk with a fork. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add yogurt, egg, lemon juice and milk. Mix until well combined. Add dry mixture a little at a time to your wet ingredients just until flour is mixed in, but do not over mix batter. Sprinkle poppy seeds. Fill muffin tins to top with muffin batter. Lightly sprinkle tops of muffins with sugar. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Enjoy!

                                   (without poisanous oleander seeds!)

(Gluten Free Coffee Cake Slice) 

Ever since I was young I have had what some might call an entrepreneurial flair.  :)  My siblings still laugh at the odd ways of gaining money that I conjured up.  There was the egg dying machine....the weed killer, my child's fantasy book with color illustrations, the parade, the sock creatures,  and the poisonous oleander seeds I sold for 10 cents a pod.  To this day, when I come up with a good idea, my siblings groan.  And I thought I should be thanked for all of the unique child-hood memories I created.  

Thankfully I have moved on from the poisonous oleander seed market and started on something a little more appetizing.  Baked Goodies!  I have started to bake for Hutto's Highland Haven and sell my culinary creations at Annie's Apple Orchard every Saturday morning.  

I am starting off with Blueberry Muffins, Coffee cake, and Pies.  The best part is I am offering these Gluten free also!  I have wished that a local someone would offer tantilizing gluten-free yummies...and so five years later after a hard, sometimes tearful, experimenting journey with gluten-free recipes, I have become that local baker offering tantilizing gluten-free yummies!  

If you are in the area please order your baked goods (by Friday 9:00 am) and stop by Annie's Orchard this Saturday!  

Giant Berry Muffins $3.50

Coffee Cake $6.00 (or $2.00 a slice)
