March is going by quickly. I hope you all are working on a muffin recipe to link to for Gluten-Free Wednesday on April 7. If you’re new here, please read about my create a gluten-free muffin challenge.
Keeping with that theme, I have another muffin recipe for you this week. The recipe uses sorghum flour, brown rice flour, and potato starch. I like using whole grain flours in muffins to increase their nutritional value. The walnuts add protein and good fat, while the chocolate chips are just for flavor and fun. If you want a sweet muffin, increase the amount of sugar. I add just enough that no one complains, but not enough to make them taste like cake. My family enjoyed these, and I hope you do too.
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Nut Muffins
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- 3/4 c. sorghum flour

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk together until moistened. Stir in the walnuts and chocolate chips . Bake at 375 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Looks great! I've got some muffin ideas in mind. Perhaps I'll try them out this weekend.
I have to stop reading your posts late at night…it makes me hungry
I'll be trying these this week. Thanks 
These look nice and fluffy. I have been experimenting with a few different recipes using almond flour lately. I maybe one more try before they are "perfected"!
I love that you have a way for me to eat chocolate chips for breakfast! Yum!
Wow, those muffins look good! I have started experimenting with muffins. My family is enjoying this challenge!
These muffins are so amazing! I made them without sorghum flour (I just substituted more brown rice flour), and added in some oats. Such a wonderful combination! I will definitely be making these again.
Jessica, thanks for letting me know that you liked them and what substitutions you made. Adding in oats is a great idea.
They look delicious. Soft and fluffy.
I made these as written except I swapped out the nuts for more chocolate chips. They were a crowd pleaser! Definitely making them again.
