3. Spray 2-cup ramekin with nonstick cooking spray.
4. Pour batter into ramekin and tap base to level batter.

Blueberry Muffins
(brown rice flour) MAKES 2 MUFFINS
This recipe uses plain lowfat yogurt for its thicker consistency
rather than for flavor. It is the thickness of the batter that keeps
the berries somewhat suspended. This muffin is pretty, very soft,
a little pale in color, and bright in blueberry flavor!
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 tablespoons plain lowfat yogurt
teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons brown rice flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
1½ tablespoons sugar
⅛ teaspoon vanilla
½ cup fresh blueberries (smaller are better!)
Baked in:
two 1-cup ramekins or other straight-sided microwave-safe bowls or cups
1. In small bowl or cup, briefly beat egg until almost uniform in color.
2. Add remaining ingredients, except blueberries, and mix well to combine.
3. Gently fold in blueberries.
4. Spray 1-cup ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
5. Pour batter into ramekins and tap base of each to level batter.
6. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Muffins will rise and then settle a little during baking.
7. Gently remove from dishes and cool.
Blueberry Muffins

3. Gently fold in blueberries.
4. Spray ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.

Chocolate Chip Muf ins
(brown rice flour) MAKES 2 MUFFINS
The batter for these muffins is rather thin for suspending the
chocolate chips, so add them on the top of the batter allowing them
to sink into the batter as it bakes. These muffins have great flavor.
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 tablespoons applesauce
teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons brown rice flour
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
1½ tablespoons brown sugar
⅛ teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
