those muffins look really fabulous…i cannot use wheat products, amaranth or quinoa…are the latter two vital to this recipe or can i just add more rice flour to equal the amount needed?

Can you use regular 1 percent milk instead of the rice milk?

I checked the site and Imagine Rice Dream Enriched Vanilla is not a gluten free product.

I tried to make these muffins. They were pretty good, but could you please tell me what is the Zest of a lemon? I really wasn’t sure. thanks, Vickie

Whoops! I'm sorry, Elo! How could I have missed that? Editing the recipe right now. Jean, I used Imagine Rice Dream Enriched Vanilla. Editing the recipe to include this link. Sorry for the late response.

Hi
I was in the middle of mixing the dry ingredients when I discovered there is no sweetener in your lemon poppyseed muffin. Is this how you intended the recipe to be? My child was going to taste test the batter when I realized this.

Thanks

Hi Angie!!!! Kumusta ka na? There must be something in the air! (Pollution?) In the past month I’ve found old friends again or old friends have found me.

I miss you, bruha! Sorry I haven’t called. We moved again! Andito na kami ulit sa Ohio.

Anyway, in answer to your question, poppy seeds are fine for pregnant women. Are you??? If so, how exciting!!!

O s’ya, balitaan mo ‘ko ha.

Hi, Stef!

These muffins look yummy! Just a question: are poppyseeds bad to consume during pregnancy? I did a search on ask jeeves, google, yahoo, etc., with no straightforward answer to my question. I’m hoping you’d know.

Thanks. God bless always.

Oops again, Jenn, I realized I didn’t exactly answer your question. The first four flours I would classify as heavier, like wheat flour. The rice flour and tapioca starch are more a cornstarch-light type. Hope that helps!

Hi again Jenn, whoops! It’s supposed to be “tapioca starch”, not flour. I used it in my Pao de Queijo post – it comes under several names. I know there are manufacturers in the US that make it but I used the Brazilian one. Hmmm…. I forgot — I meant to include links to the products when I posted! I’ll edit now. Thanks for calling my attention to that.

Another question, then. I’m not looking for gluten free, just wheat free. Ds can tolerate oats and barley and such. The variety of flours for the balance, how would you classify that you used — some light, some heavy? Tapioca FLOUR instead of starch?

Hi Amy and Jenn. Let me know if you do try them Amy. Jenn, quinoa and amaranth are both gluten free -- more info: Acceptability of other grains from Canadian Celiac Association

They look yummy!

I just left TJ’s and was toying with the idea of buying that “Sweet Rice Flour” but couldn’t for the life of me justify since I had no recipes for it!

I have also not used Quinoa or amaranth yet, either. Does these have more gluten than some other flours?
