"This is 3 recipes in 1, adapted for my daughter. I substituted sugar for syrup, etc, but you can substitute it right back again if there are certain things you can eat! As it stands the recipe is wheat, gluten, dairy and sugar free. It's a great recipe to get the kids to help with too."

Good muffins! I used sugar, vanilla extract and 1/4 c cocoa. They were easy to make and had a nice flavor. I think I will also try it with chocolate chips and walnuts, as the previous reviewer suggested too. Thanks for sharing! ~PAC Spring '10~

Hi! I found this site looking for new recipes to cook for my family. I have two wonderful children, a girl and a boy. We all have food allergies, so I try to find recipes that I can adapt into wheat, dairy and sugar free. I love trying to do this, it is so much fun finding new things to cook and experimenting with food is becoming somewhat of an addiction for me, though my time is otherwise occupied! My daughter loves to help me cook so I also try to get ideas where she can help. She loves stirring cookie dough which is good because I love eating the cookies!! If you would like to contact me my email is classic_harp@yahoo.com see you there!!
