We had some leftover strawberries from making this salad and decided to use them up in some gluten free muffins. The delicate flavour of strawberry can easily be overpowered in baked goods, so to intensify the berry-ness of these muffins we use strawberry coulis both as a wet ingredient and as a garnish while serving. We also use mild and slightly sweet coconut and oat flours which compliment the strawberries, keep these muffins moist and light and pack nutrition and fibre into every bite. With your favorite morning cup of “pick me up,” these muffins make an awesome weekend breakfast!

Gluten free recipes from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada
They look so good, good enough to eat!!!!
Thanks!
Anything I could use to replace the rice flour?
You could try sorghum, teff, or quinoa or a combination of them. Almond meal/flour might work, too. Just add the liquids a bit at a time so you don’t over liquify the batter. If you need more liquid, I would try adding more puree or milk. Good luck. Let me know how it goes!
These look soooooo good! 🙂 Can’t wait to try them out!
Thanks!
