| Finished muffins |
I have been told my recipes are too complicated by a couple of people (you know if you belong in this group) and I've had a request for quick, easy muffins. These fit the bill.

| Dry ingredients |
Dry Ingredients:
Sift or stir together in a large mixing bowl:
1 C GF flour of your choice
1 C GF oatmeal
1/4 C sugar or more to taste
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp guar or xanthan gum
Wet Ingredients combine well in a medium sized bowl:
2 large eggs, beaten
1 C milk
1/4 C veg oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, combine thoroughly with a fork.
Divide between 12 regular-sized muffin cups, lined with muffin/cupcake papers.
Note: if you do not add in any of the options below, you will get 12 smaller muffins or nine larger.
Bake in a preheated, 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until done. This will depend on your oven. They should be a golden to dark brown on top.
Variations:
To the dry ingredients add:
1 C raisins or chopped dates, and 1 C chopped nuts. OR
1 C dried cranberries and 1 C chopped walnuts; if you wish, exchange the vanilla extract for lemon or other citrus extract, or 1/2 tsp of Fiore di Sicilia. OR
3/4 C chocolate chips, 3/4 C dried cherries, and 3/4 C chopped walnuts or pecans.
The options are numerous; use your favorites.
If you use buttermilk or yogurt, the leavening changes to: 2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda.
