Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Muffins

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup applesauce (I used homemade)
1/2 cup canola or other cooking oil
1 cup fine white rice flour
1/4 cup teff flour (or buckwheat or chickpea flours)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg optional
1 teaspoon ground chia seed or 1 tablespoon flax meal (substitute 1/2 teaspoon guar or xanthan gum)
Method:
Put eggs, sugar, applesauce and oil into mixing bowl.  Stir with a wooden spoon about 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and stir until combined.  Scoop into paper lined muffin cups.  Bake @ 355 for 20-25 minutes or until done.  Makes 12.
This makes a moist muffin...if you like it drier try reducing either the applesauce or oil by 3 tablespoons.
