• 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin purée
• 1 3/4 oat flour... I grind up oatmeal in the food processor
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons Jamaican spice
• 1/2 cup soft butter

1) Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan, or line the pan with papers, and grease the papers.

2) Whisk together the eggs, syrup, and pumpkin purée. Set aside.

3) Whisk together the oat flour, sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and Jamaica all spice.

4) Add the soft butter, mixing with an electric mixer until evenly crumbly. The mixture will look like coarse sand.

5) Add the egg mixture a bit at a time, beating well with an electric mixer after each addition. Beat for 1 to 2 minutes, until the mixture is fluffy.

6) Scoop the batter into the prepared pan, mounding the cups full. The batter will rise above the level of each cup; that's fine.

7) Let the muffins rest for 10 minutes.

homemade Gluten Free oatmeal banana peanut butter chocolate chip muffins

blurred ground oat flour

Ingredients:

• 2 cups oat flour
• ½ cups rolled oats
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• a dash of nutmeg
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 cup  milk
• 1 whole banana, cold
• ½ chocolate chips
• 1/4 c peanut butter

Instructions:

beautiful ground oat flour

Transfer rolled or instant oats to a blender and whiz for a few seconds until flour forms. Carefully spoon out 2 cups of oat flour and transfer to a mixing bowl. Whisk in baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar, and set aside. Add  milk,peanut butter and banana to the blender and whiz until well combined. Pour into oat flour mixture, add chocolate chips and stir to combine. It should be rather soupy. Add a handful 1/2 cup rolled oats and stir. If it's still runny, add more oats. The batter should be thick like oatmeal  but not dry. Set batter aside and preheat oven to 375F. Grease a muffin pan and spoon batter into the pan. The batter will thicken and get a little sticky/tacky as it sets. If it's so thick you can't stir it easily, thin it out with a little  milk, but you shouldn't need to. It should be thick like oatmeal or heavy mashed potatoes. Spoon into 12 cups and bake 10-15 minutes, or until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Hillbilly homemade biscuit

Tried regular and cheese yummies http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/homemadebiscuits.htm

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder (3 teaspoons)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup shortening
• 2/3 cup milk or buttermilk or yogurt

First get out your big bowl. Put the flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl. Drop in the shortening and use your fingers to casually mix it in with the dry ingredients. Don’t get too serious about it because it is better to under mix at this point than over mix. There should still be a few lumps of shortening, the size of peas, or even a little bigger. Two minutes or less of mixing should do it. Next add the milk. Stir it up into a soft dough. On dry days you may need another spoonful or two of milk. Form the dough into a soft ball. Get a piece of waxed paper and lay it on your counter. Sprinkle the waxed paper with a little bit of flour. Place the dough ball on the flour and knead it exactly 10 times. No more, no less. This activates the gluten in the flour just enough, but not too much. Next flatten out the dough with a rolling pin or your hands so it is about 3/4″ thick. Cut into biscuit shapes with a biscuit cutter, or the rim of a clean cup or can. I use a tomato paste can for small biscuits and a tuna can for large biscuits. Works really well. Lay the biscuits onto a cookie sheet or pizza pan and bake them at 425° for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on their size. Makes about a dozen medium sized biscuits. You can brush them with melted margarine when you take them from the oven if you want them to look pretty when they arrive at the table.

Cheese Biscuits: These are made simply by adding a cup of cheese to the flour after you mix in the shortening, right before adding the milk. Cut into smallish biscuits and cook as directed. They are really good with spaghetti or lasagna
