Apple Muffins

So we're having company this weekend and I thought it would be nice to be able to offer them some baked goods. Also, since I've been breastfeeding I feel incredibly hungry and there isn't much time to eat anything with much nutritional value so I thought I would like to have some muffins around to munch on. Being Celiac though you can't just run out to the store/ Tim Horton's or McDonald's or somewhere and buy a 6 pack of muffins so I went looking for a way to make them myself.

To the left is my finished product. I was pretty pleased! It tastes great and looks like a muffin! :)

The recipe I used was from Aunt Jemima of all places. Found on this website

I'll include the recipe below as well with the gluten free modifications. :) Enjoy!
