My good friend had her birthday today. I thought I would surprise her with some fresh muffins to start off her day with a little love and recognition Tessa style. I was up WAY too early to accomplish this…..but my loved ones don’t call me Rambo for no reason….very moist and delicious! Next time I will experiment with less fat…..
Yield – 1 dozen regular muffins. Using half stevia, each muffin has 223 calories, 12.2 g fat, 23.4 g carbs, 3.4 g fiber, 1.8 g sugar, 3.7 g protein.

In the directions it mentions margarine. It is says shortening or butter in the ingredients. I am sure you don’t use margarine.
I made these this morning and they were delicious! I used teff, and used baking soda/cream of tartar as a baking powder substitute.
Thanks for letting me know Mary Jo, I always appreciate feedback!!
Thanks for this great basic recipe. From here I’m sure lots of flavor combinations and fruits can be added. I love these types of recipes. Thanks for sharing it with us at Whole Food Wednesdays.

I’m working my way (and my mind) into going wheat free – totally pinning this for inspiration! thank you for linking with kids in the kitchen – keep ’em coming please!!! (I have RA and must get off wheat and sugar)
Does that say 4 cups applesauce or 1/4 cup applesauce? It’s cut off on my phone. 🙂
3/4 Robyn!
I’ve been meaning to experiment with gluten free recipes for ages, but still haven’t gotten around to it yet. This recipe seems like a great starting point though. Thanks so much for sharing with Hearth and Soul!
I set out to make these in my Sat. morning foggy state and quickly realized after having part of the ingredients together that I didn't have sorghum flour or applesauce! I improvised by substituting the sorghum with 1/8c. more oat flour and 1/8 c. more tapioca. For the applesauce, I had some ripe pears on hand that I peeled and microwaved for 2 min. before throwing in to the mixer. The muffins turned out fabulous!!! Also- I threw in huckleberries for 1/2 the batch and choc. chips for the other 1/2…both awesome. 🙂
