Gluten Free Muffins

I know some people who either live with celiac's disease, or have gluten intolerance issues.  Being a vegetarian, I understand being on the outside of the norm while around the table.  So I have tried to make a few gluten free goodies for those friends.  This is my latest creation that I modified from the Dining on a Dime Cookbook, it got rave reviews from all who tried it.  So you don't have to be a gluten free eater to enjoy these gems!  They are a nice and delicate moist crumb.  A bit tricky to get out of the pan in one whole swoop, so take caution when dishing up.

Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

1 cup quick oats
1 cup soymilk
2Tbsp ground flax
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup oil
1 cup oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1cup raisins

Mix all ingredients; batter will be thin.  Let sit for 10 minutes or until oats soak up some of the liquid.  Spoon batter into greased muffin tins.  Bake at 400 degree for 15-20 mins or 10-12 for mini muffins.  Makes 1 dozen regular sized muffins or 2 dozen mini muffins.

Notes: if you don't have flax, use one egg.  I made oat flour by grinding oatmeal in my 'magic bullet'.
