Post date: Apr 27, 2015 5:30:36 PM

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all purpose gluten free flour, with xanthan gum already added (Such as Tom Sawyer, Better Crocker GF flour mix)

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 Tbsp. gluten free baking powder

1/4 tsp. gluten free baking soda

1 tsp. active dry yeast

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 stick butter, softened (or 1/4 cup of oil)

1 cup sugar free applesauce

1/2 cup sweet buttermilk

(optional: 1 cup chopped pecans)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325.

In large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, yeast, and brown sugar. Add eggs, butter, applesauce, and buttermilk. Mix o high just until smooth. Don't over mix. Let batter rest for about 15-20 minutes. Then fold in pecans, if desired.

Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to fill each muffin cup with batter. If you don't use the muffin papers, then you must grease and flour your muffin pan. If you are making doughnuts, grease a non-stick doughnut pan and fill each doughnut place with batter almost to the top. Bake muffins for 28-30 minutes and doughnuts for 25 minutes. This recipe will make a dozen small cupcake size muffins and 6 doughnuts.

Glaze:

2 cups powdered sugar

1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/3 cup warm tap water

Whisk until smooth and dip or brush muffins and doughnuts with glaze. Enjoy for breakfast or treat!
