3/4 .c orange juice

1/4 c. canola oil

1 can (11 oz) mandarin oranges, drained

Coconut Topping: 1 T. softened butter + 1/4 c sugar + 1/2 c. coconut; mix well, then sprinkle on muffin tops before baking.

* For recipe tonight, I used 1 c. brown rice and 1 c. oat flour, homeground, + 1/4 tsp. xanthan gum
* tonight I used 1/4 c. coconut yogurt to replace egg

Blueberry Muffins

2 t. baking powder

1/2  t. baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 c. sugar

1/4 c. brown sugar

3/4 c. milk*

1 egg*

1/4 c. canola oil

* I used rice milk in tonight's version
*I used pear sauce from freezer for egg. Applesauce is similar. Flaxseed meal would be great to try.

Brown sugar muffins

2 cups flour*

1  tsp. baking powder

1  tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup brown sugar

3/4 c. milk*

1 egg*

1/4 c canola oil

Pancake variations using Basic Quickbreads Formula:

Basic, Basic Pancakes wheat/dairy/egg free                 

2 c. oat/rice flour
1/4 tsp. xanthan gum
1 T. baking powder
dash salt
2 T. brown sugar

1 3/4 c. rice milk
1/4 c. applesauce *
2 T. oil

I like blueberries folded in the batter. Pancake was great to eat plain this way!

*used 1 3/4 c. milk instead of 2 c. - when I bake/measure homeground oat/rice flour, I seem to need less liquid in recipe. You can learn what good consistency is and tweak. *used pear sauce instead

Sunrise Pancakes(Orange-Papaya)
One of my favorites! Most soft, fluffy of my variations so far! Flavorful to eat without topping.

2 c. oat/rice flour
1/4 t. xanthan gum
1 t. baking soda
2 tsp. sugar

1 3/4 cup OJ (had about 1/2 cup concentrate then filled measuring cup up to 1 3/4 cup)
1/4 c. papaya puree (had in freezer)
2 T oil

*experiment with using 1/2 cup papaya puree, and 1 1/2 c. OJ

Pumpkin Pancakes
Another check ++. Girls and I loved them, with brown sugar syrup. (Strong for eating plain). They keep really good texture leftover.

2 cups oat/rice flour
1/2 t. xanthan gum
2 t. baking powder, 1/2 t. baking soda
dash salt
2 T. white sugar, 2 T. brown sugar

1 3/4 c. rice milk
1/4 c. coconut cream
1 c. pumpkin puree
