Raspberry Muffins

Well here it is, my very first recipe and blog post!
These muffins are both gluten and dairy free and so delicious! My entire family loves this spin on blueberry muffins. Although I love blueberries, I love raspberries even more! So I decided to incorporate raspberries in place of blueberries in these muffins!
They are yummy but definitely not full of wasted calories.

3/4 cup rice flour
2T ground flax seed

1/3 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoon almond meal
1/4 cup oil-based butter

What is special about these muffins??
Well they are gluten and dairy free! But I also incorporated flax seed for some extra fiber (which you can not taste at all). Also using an oil-based butter, cuts down on the saturate fat in this recipe! I hope you enjoy!
