Quinoa Applesauce Muffins
"This is a wheat-free, gluten-free (extreme) modification of a recipe from Dr. Peter D'Adamo's Blood-Type Diet Plan. For Type O's. Also easy-to-chew for those with dental problems. For the applesauce, I use Santa Cruz Apple Apricot Sauce."

Over the years I have made this, I have replaced the dried apricots with dried, mixed berries and can no longer find the apricot applesauce, so I use unsweetened applesauce instead.

I am an Information Systems technical specialist who got into cooking because of my mother's and my food allergies. I had to find substitutions for many popular food stuffs, such as potatoes, milk, corn and wheat, while still making food taste good. I have become fairly adept at modifying popular recipes so that no one can tell there were ingredient substitutions.
