Consider these delightfully gluten free kitchen sink muffins as another recipe revision brought to you by my great Auntie Clara’s wall of cookbooks. 

Favourite Takeaways:

1. Forgiving
2. Very, very versatile
3. Can be made without a stand mixer, if needed

This is one of those wholesome muffin recipes that discreetly includes a little bit of everything… except for the kitchen sink. So discreet that my picky eater of a nephew inhaled his muffin.

further insights:

• serves 12 medium (GF flour tends to yield less)
• chose a Gluten Free flour with Xanthan Gum
• used the thin sedated blade to grate carrots
• used the standard aerated blade to grate apple
• used a 1/4 measuring cup to divide the batter
• can be made ahead and stored in airtight container – about 1 day prior
• freezes well in airtight container
