Favorite GF Muffin Recipe!

Here is our new favorite muffin recipe.

Sour Cream Blueberry (or Cherry Vanilla Yogurt) Muffins

We love this one too. Pumpkin Berry Muffins (blueberry/cranberry is my fav combo)We use Pamela's baking mix in this one too.

I go back and forth using sour cream or vanilla yogurt and Blueberries/cherries/cranberries..sometimes a mixture of them all :)

We also loved the Pear Polenta Muffins for a change. They are different from typical breakfast muffins..but so yummy
