I've been playing with this recipe for a while, and today these came out just right so I'm writing this down! My son, who won't eat muffins, ate these and said they were delicious. He's not gluten free, but I am...and dairy free....and egg free....
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter flavored Crisco
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup almond milk or other milk replacer (coconut would be delicious, but I'm out)
1 1/2 t egg replacer mixed with 2T warm water
1 t vanilla
3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
3/4 cup potato starch
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1 t xanthan gum
1 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 large)
Preheat oven to 350. Spray muffin pan with nonstick spray. Mix wet ingredients, then add the dry ingredients.
Bake muffins 20-25 minutes. Makes 12 regular (but generous!) muffins.
I'm really loving coconut flour. It only takes a little bit, but it adds moistness and richness to gluten free baked goods, which they really need without eggs & dairy!
I'll keep playing with these to see if I can reduce the sugar and still have good results. I think there are only so many things you can take away from a recipe and still have it taste good though!!!

2 new fun finds
On a trip to Winco, I found these two mixes that were reasonably priced and delicious.
Hodgson Mill cookie mix & pancake mix.
The cookie mix only makes 1 batch of cookies but I think it was $2.xx so not too bad. The cookies have a little bit of a biscuit texture. I actually like them better frozen, but the flavor is good. I just make chocolate chip cookies with these (with dark chocolate non-dairy chocolate chips from the Winco bulk foods section). I also used Nucoa (I think that's what it's called) margarine that doesn't have dairy in it and egg whites instead of whole eggs to make these completely safe for me to eat. They have other cookie variations on the package - peanut butter, etc.
The pancake mix ($3.xx) makes several batches of pancakes or waffles. I LOVE that they are whole grain and not just white starch like the Biquick ones. Again, I varied from the directions a bit - rice milk instead of regular milk & egg whites instead of whole eggs, but they turned out great. These are definitely the best gf pancakes I have had.
I think I tried the Hodgson Mill baking mix once and thought it was gritty so I'm not endorsing all of their products quite yet (if you look on the Hodgson Mill site, they actually have a lot of gf mixes) but these were great!
