Quinoa Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Muffin: A Gluten Free Muffin.

By now most of you must have understood that I love to cook with quinoa. I have now started substituting it for APF ( maida).Another ingredient that I have been using  is raisins in place of regular sugar. For people who can consume almost everything and are allergy free it is very easy. Most of the kids these days have some form of allergies. Then it becomes very challenging for parents.They have to not only be super careful about feeding them the right food, but at times also help them indulge in treats that they miss out on. I also think regular sugar makes the kids crave for more of it, but substituting them with banana's and raisins in baked goodies satisfies them and takes the craving out. This weekend my little helper and I created this muffin and got double thumbs up. So here is a muffin for all those who have gluten issues.
