Originally, these were a mistake: Disaster Muffins. It was a evening when we were having company and my sister was making dessert. She decided to make No Bake Cookies. I had the recipe in my folder, and she got started by putting the butter and milk in a saucepan. Then came the horrible discovery: We had no sugar.
We had honey, but a good No-Bake can’t be made with honey, or it runs all over the plate.
So I was called upon, and it was resolved that my sister would make honey cupcakes containing apples, cinnamon, and raisins.
They were delicious
These make 2 dozen muffins. They are more of a breakfast food than a dessert. Also, currants are sweeter and juicer than raisins, but either will work.
DRY:
3 cups rice flour or GF oat flour
1 ½ cups cornstarch or potato starch
1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
WET:
½ cup honey
3 sticks (1 ½ cups) melted butter
3 ¾ cup milk
5 eggs
APPLE MIX:
2 large apples or 3 small ones
2 cups currants or raisins
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Place wax paper cupcake liners in 2 muffin pans. Preheat oven to 350.
Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl mix together the wet ingredients. In a third bowl mix together the apple mixture.
Combine all three mixtures into the dry ingredients bowl. Stir only until JUST blended.
Spoon muffin mix into cupcake liners and cook for about 40 minutes, until nicely browned on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
