Fixin’ to share the Best ever Gluten Free Carrot muffins recipe for the best muffins you’ll ever have.  AND you won’t even know they’re gluten free!  Just trust me and whip up a batch to have with your morning coffee.  Or hot tea, if you’re like me!

Best ever Gluten Free Carrot Muffins

Over a number of years I have been making these wonderful little muffins I once found in a mini Pillsbury recipe book.  I make them often.  Okay, a lot!  They are simply my favorite muffin, and I love muffins.  These are loaded with carrots, (the main ingredient, hence the title) but it also has apples, coconut, walnuts, and I replaced the raisins with dried blueberries.  (I like raisins but these dried blueberries just seem to add the perfect touch to these.)

However, this time around I switched it up a bit.  To gluten free!  I’ve been experimenting with gluten free baking and cooking mainly since my daughter is currently gluten free and I was curious as to trying it out myself.  I started researching other posts and articles on gf-people and tips on how they started out.  As well as ingredient ratios, etc.

I happened upon a post on mixing your own “all purpose gluten free flour mix” vs buying it.  It will save you money and since doing this method, I have been more successful with the outcome of most recipes using this mix versus the “already” mixed all purpose gluten free flour blend.  This method will give you several cups of ready to use all purpose.  It was posted here and I followed her steps to a “t”!

Since mixing it up and having it readily available, I have used it for gravy based recipes like my Cottage Pie (recipe to come), and for the “creamy” part of a potatoes au gratin dish as well as a homemade bread that I used in the Praline Bread Pudding for our Fall Brunch.  Everything has turned out AMAZING!

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.
.
And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂
