Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup raisins; 2 cups brown rice flour; ⅔ cup tapioca starch; ⅓ cup potato starch (not potato flour); 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum; 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda; ½ teaspoon salt; 1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce; ½ cup extra-light olive oil or ½ cup coconut oil; ½ cup maple syrup; ½ cup honey or ½ cup agave nectar; 2 tablespoons rice milk

Servings: persons

1 cup raisins
2 cups brown rice flour
⅔ cup tapioca starch
⅓ cup potato starch (not potato flour)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¾ teaspoon xanthan gum
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce
½ cup extra-light olive oil or ½ cup coconut oil
½ cup maple syrup
½ cup honey or ½ cup agave nectar
2 tablespoons rice milk

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line or grease 12 to 14 muffin cups (the original recipe calls for 12, but I needed 14).
2
I like to soak the raisins in hot water while I prepare the other ingredients.
3
This plumps them up a bit and helps to prevent any exposed raisins from burning while baking.
4
Combine the rice flour, starches, cinnamon, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
5
Combine the applesauce, oil, maple, honey, and rice milk in a large mixing bowl.
6
Stir in the reserved dry mixture until the mixture is just combined.
7
Drain the raisins (if you are soaking) and fold them into the batter.
8
Evenly distribute the batter between 12 to 14 muffin cups.
9
You will be filling the cups pretty much to the top.
10
Bake the muffins for 30-35 minutes if making 14 muffins, 35-40 minutes if making 12 slightly larger muffins.
11
The muffins do darken quite a bit, but werent burnt.
12
