After inventing and perfecting the ultimate sweetening blend, I of course had to try it out with something that was easy to make, and quick to cook. I hadn’t done a sweet muffin yet, so it was a good time to make one. I needed to do more with my dried cranberries than eat them by the handful!
I got the idea for this recipe from the book Gluten Free Baking Classics by Annalise G. Roberts. This book is really becoming a favorite of mine! The recipes I have made have been fantastic. I’m super pleased with the sweetening blend, especially after the muffins cool. The’re not rock hard, don’t have a trace of a cooling effect, and are just sweet enough, not sickeningly so. I don’t need to warm them to make them soft, and they stay soft if stored properly. I can’t wait to use it in other baked goods.

2/3 cup Ultimate sweetening blend
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon xantham gum
