Marvelous Muffins by Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet
By using a seasonal ingredients when they are at their peak, they taste like they were meant to taste. Over time, you’ll learn that citrus season is at the beginning of the year, raspberries are at their peak in July and apples are falling off the trees in September.

Banana Muffins
I make banana muffins any time of year but in the dead of winter bananas are often on my kitchen counter and I make these.
Banana Bundt Cake with Chocolate Glaze
Sometimes I double the Banana Muffin recipe and make this Banana Bundt Cake.
Rhubarb Streusel Muffins
Rhubarb grows in gardens everywhere in spring and Canadians like to cook with it.
Rhubarb Coffee Cake
Here is a cake version based on the above recipe.
Muffins That Taste Like Donuts
This is when people start talking about Amusement Park Food and ‘Those Little Donuts’ covered in cinnamon-sugar. These remind me of the donut holes my grandmother used to make, I think I might try deep frying them and see what happens.
Cornmeal Raspberry Muffins
I pick raspberries from my garden to make these muffins in the summer. In the winter I do a savoury version with cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapenos or jalapeno jelly. So many options.
Morning Glory Muffins
Toward the end of summer when I have carrots in my garden and apples are everywhere I make Morning Glory Muffins.
Pumpkin Ginger Muffins
When pumpkin season takes over, I make these delicious Pumpkin Ginger Muffins.
Cranberry Orange Muffins
The arrival of Mandarin oranges marks the beginning of citrus season. Cranberries are also plentiful so I make these muffins right through until the end of January. With a little tweaking of the recipe this makes a fabulous bundt cake.
Professional bakers and connoisseurs will argue that muffins and cake are not the same. Technically I agree, but as an everyday cook, I like to make recipes that work and repeat the ones that taste great. You can vary them all to suit your taste and call them whatever you like.
