all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Start by adding gluten-free all-purpose flour to a large mixing bowl.

Add powdered sugar to the flour; you can blend regular sugar to make powdered sugar if needed.

Incorporate almond flour into the mixture for added texture.

Add ground golden flaxseed to the dry ingredients.

Next, add chopped pistachios to the bowl for flavor and texture.

Sprinkle in baking powder and Himalayan pink salt, mixing the dry ingredients together.

If desired, puree cooked spinach with water to add a green color to the muffins.

Add juice of your choice (orange, pineapple, or apple) to the mixture.

Incorporate citrus zest (lemon or orange) into the batter for flavor.

Add vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until well combined, ensuring no pockets of flour remain.

Prepare the muffin pan by lining it with paper liners and optionally spraying it to prevent sticking.

Fill the muffin cups almost to the top, as gluten-free muffins do not rise as much as regular muffins.

Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, checking for doneness based on your oven.

Once baked, let the muffins cool slightly before trying them.
