Streusel:
14 cup chopped walnuts
14 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons brown rice flour
(such as Bob’s Red Mill)
12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
112 tablespoons canola oil or
butter

Muffins:
Cooking spray
3.3 ounces brown rice flour (about
34 cup; such as Bob’s Red Mill)
4.1 ounces potato starch (about
34 cup)
2.1 ounces tapioca flour (about
12 cup)
34 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
112 teaspoons xanthan gum
12 teaspoon ground cinnamon
12 teaspoon salt
34 cup raisins
14 cup chopped toasted walnuts
13 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup plain soy milk

1. Preheat oven to 400°.

2. To prepare streusel, combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl with a fork until mixture resembles small peas.

3. To prepare muffins, place 18 paper muffin cup liners in muffin cups. Coat liners with cooking spray; set aside.

4. Weigh or lightly spoon brown rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, granulated sugar, and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Stir in raisins and walnuts; make a well in center of mixture. Combine oil, vanilla, and eggs in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Stir in soy milk; add to rice flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle batter evenly with streusel topping.

5. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until muffins are lightly browned and spring back when touched lightly in center. Cool in pans 5 minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 18 servings (serving size: 1 muffin).
