Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten free flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 raw parsnips, peeled and grated
  • 1/4 cup oil (I used organic sunflower)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup vanilla dairy-free yogurt (I used coconut milk-based)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 handful toasted sliced almonds

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375 and prepare muffin tin. This recipe makes 12 pretty substantial muffins. I like using liners, but if you'd prefer you can just grease your tins well.
  • Combine dry ingredients: gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Mix wet ingredients: both sugars, oil, eggs, yogurt. And add the grated parsnips.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients. There's no real exact science here; just fold until well-blended. It'll be a pretty lumpy batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly into muffin tin. They'll puff out over the tops, but I still fill them pretty full. I like a hearty muffin.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes. Err on the shorter side if you're using a dark metal muffin tin.
