Do you happen to be on a gluten free diet? If so, this gluten free muffins recipe is for you.

Most of my brother’s family is on a gluten and dairy free diet. Every time I visit them we usually take some time to film a video together for my cooking show on YouTube. My nieces and nephews enjoy being on the show and helping me cook and bake.

In this particular recipe, they help me make gluten free muffins that are dairy free as well. They are so incredibly easy to make, if we can do it, you can do it. Let’s get baking!

In order to make these delicious gluten free muffins, you need a handful of ingredients:

  • Brown sugar
