Rice flour muffins

I Try and  bake 100% Gluten Free ( our 4 year old has Gluten intolerance) and sugar free (for health reasons) when I sweeten bake goods I try to use apple sauce, maple syrup, honey or coconut sugar. 

I made two batches of these muffins, one savory as a dinner biscuit type muffin and one sweet for dessert. Both turned out very well especially taking into account the healthy, basic, clean ingredients. 
Please remember for most GP people a huge percent of their tolerance is based on quantity. One muffin is one serving. Too many will make your fiber content too high and could cause flare ups. 
I had one two days ago when they were hot out of the oven and one yesterday for breakfast, both times they were tolerated well by me.
The recipe calls for 1 cup rice flour and makes 6 muffins- so that is .66g fiber and .33g fat from the rice flour
I used coconut milk, which has a bit more fat but healthy fats. Low fat milk works as well.
Heat oven to 425

Savory: 


1whole egg
3/4 cup low fat milk or coconut milk or almond milk ( I used coconut in sweet version and low fat milk in savory both work)
2tbs coconut oil ( or any kind of healthy oil) can be omitted
1 cup white rice flour
2tsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt
Mix everything in large bowl I used a spatula mixes easily
Let rest 2-5 minutes scoop into 6 lined muffin tin. Bake 17 minutes until top is a bit firm to touch center is moist not wet. 

Sweet


1whole egg
3/4 cup low fat milk or coconut milk or almond milk ( I used coconut in sweet version and low fat milk in savory both work)
2tbs coconut oil ( or any kind of healthy oil) can be omitted
1 cup white rice flour
2tsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt
2tsp vanilla
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips 
Mix everything in large bowl I used a spatula mixes easily
Let rest 2-3 minutes scoop into 6 lined muffin tin. Bake 17 minutes until top is a bit firm to touch center is moist not wet.
