In my continuous quest to find something that both of my boys will eat and enjoy but are heavy on the healthy side has finally come true today!! I have made so many versions of muffins and bars and most of them they will not touch. Today I took my Pumpkin Spiced Muffins to a new level... Kid Approved!! I know you mom's out there know exactly what I'm talking about and something like this makes you feel like you have accomplished the most difficult task in your life.
I made enough changes that I felt it necessary to re-write the recipe to keep it simple. Instead of Bob's red mill gf all purpose baking flour I used a combination of almond flour and buckwheat flour and because of the change in flour I was able to eliminate the xanthan gum and baking powder. Two less additive ingredients two steps closer to a better healthier product is the way I see it. The last thing I did was remove the butter and replace it with grapeseed oil. I hope you and your kids enjoy this one!
