Ingredients

Gluten Free Flour Mix

  • 4 cups rice flour
  • 1 1/3 cups potato starch
  • 2/3 cup tapioca flour
  • 4 teaspoons xanthan gum

Muffins

  • 3 cups Gluten Free Flour Mix
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered milk
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups any milk
  • 4 tablespoons ground flax seed
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sunflower seeds

Frosting & Topping

  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup toasted coconut (for topping)

Directions

Gluten Free Flour Mix

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
  2. Make the gluten free flour by simply whisking together the four ingredients.

Muffins

  1. Make the muffins. Whisk 3 cups of the gluten-free flour (reserving the rest) with the baking powder, powdered milk and nutmeg. In a separate bowl mix the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir in vanilla and milk. In the blender, puree the flax seed and water until you get a nice frothy mixture. Combine this with the brown sugar mixture, fold in the dry mixture, stirring just to combine, then gently fold in the apricots and seeds. Spoon the batter into a prepared muffin pan, filling each about two-thirds full. Smooth the tops. Bake 20 minutes, until lightly browned.

Frosting & Topping

  1. Meanwhile in a small bowl, whip together all the frosting ingredients then spread on the slightly cooled muffins. Sprinkle with toasted coconut, serve and share.
