It all began with my 6 yr old crying at night with tummy aches and crying during the day with cramps. After much trial and error we discovered, among many other things, she has a gluten intolerance.

My child who loves pasta and pancakes and bread, oh my! Now what am I going to do?

Sure there are lots of prepackaged options for kids and adults alike that are gluten free, but in a family with 5 kids, making things ourselves is a must. I had to search high and low and under a few rocks to find recipes that were not only gluten free but something a 6 yr old would actually eat! I know, I was asking for a miracle.

Turns out I found my solution in the Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle! There are hundreds of gluten free recipes in there and I am so grateful to have found this amazing offer … but not as grateful as my 6 yr old!

Cranberry Lemon Muffins (grain-free & sugar-free!):

cranberrylemonmuffinsPrep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients
2 eggs
1/4 c. yogurt (or the cream off the top of a can of organic coconut milk)
2 T melted butter or coconut oil
1/8 t. pure stevia extract (or to taste- there is much difference between varieties of stevia)
1 T. lemon juice
1/4 t. vanilla
1/4 t. baking soda
1 t. apple cider vinegar
2 T. xylitol
1/2 c. cranberries chopped
1/4 c. coconut flour
pinch of salt

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a mini muffin pan really well. 
Mix together all ingredients except cranberries and coconut flour.
Thoroughly mix in coconut flour.
Chop the cranberries (I used my magic bullet) and then fold them into the above mixture. 
Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 15 minutes.
Let the muffins cool off. I know, I’m always tempted to eat things as soon as they pop out of the oven too. But resist the urge. These muffins don’t taste quite right until they cool off. But after they’ve cooled off, they’re oh so tasty!

Notes:  These muffins freeze well. Pop whatever muffins you’re not going to use into the freezer after they’ve thoroughly cooled and just pull a couple out a half hour before you want a snack.
