Wheatless Wednesday: Fruit-Sweetened Pineapple Muffins Put the “Fluffy” Back in Gluten-Free
Of the adjectives used to describe gluten-free baked goods, the word “fluffy” rarely makes the cut. Heavy, solid, crumbly, dry — yes, any and all of those. Those of us living sans gluten have gotten used to the slice-and-toast routine when it comes to wheatless breads. Fresh-out-of-the-oven-fluffy has all but vanished from our vocabulary. These fruit-sweetened beauties, though, change all of that.
For starters, the batter actually rose above and beyond the baking tin’s edge. When’s the last time you remember anything gluten-free doing that? These muffins even manage to disguise shredded fruits and vegetables without coming anywhere near the dreaded dense description.
Goodbye flat, vaguely muffin-shaped globules. It’s time to move on.
