Lew's Organic Oat or Gluten-Free Corn Muffin Recipe - No Dairy, Sugar, Wheat, or Yeast

Applesauce is a good substitute for butter. If your recipe calls for 4 tablespoons of butter, use 4 tablespoons of applesauce. Soy milk is a good substitute for sour cream if you add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice for each 1/3 cup of soy milk and let it sit for 15 minutes to thicken up. Rice milk was recommended as a substitute for soy milk by Gary Null. Since soy milk has much more protein than rice milk, it will thicken better. Makes 12 muffins. Fill each baking cup to about 1/4 inch from the top. Also learned that if you just put your muffins in the refrigerator, they will lose their freshness faster then leaving them out. If you want to keep your muffins longer than 2 days, freeze them within 24 hours.

• 3 cups Organic Whole Grain Oat Flour or Organic Whole Grain Yellow Corn Meal Flour to eliminate the gluten
• 3/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large Organic Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Xylitol**
• 1/2 cup Organic Applesauce
• 1 cup Unsweetened Organic Soy Milk - add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice & let sit 10 minutes to thicken up (Edensoy or Westsoy)
  

Bake for 17 to 19 minutes at *400 degrees.

*My muffins were falling after rising. Checked the oven temperature with a qauge. I didn't realize the temperature called for, in a recipe, is an average. Ovens can vary by as much as + or - 25 degrees. Mine varied by + or - 20 degrees. To get an average temperature of 400 degrees, I have to set the oven for 420 degrees. Watching the qauge, the temperature rises to 420 and slowly drops to 380 degrees.
