Ingredients

  1. 2 cups rice flour
  2. ¾ cup tapioca flour
  3. ½ cup millet flour
  4. ½ cup arrowroot flour
  5. 1 tablespoon guar gum
  6. 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  7. 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  8. ½ teaspoon salt
  9. 2 lemons, zested and juiced
  10. 1 ¼ cups water, or as needed
  11. 1 ½ cups mayonnaise
  12. 1 cup white sugar
  13. ¼ cup poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
  2. Sift rice flour, tapioca flour, millet flour, arrowroot flour, guar gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
  3. Combine lemon juice and zest in a 2-cup liquid measure. Add water to make 1 1/2 cups liquid; transfer to a large bowl. Add mayonnaise and blend with an electric mixer until creamy and most of the lumps are gone. Mix in sugar and poppy seeds. Pour into the flour mixture and beat for a full 2 minutes. Transfer batter into the prepared muffin cups.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 15 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. You can use brown or white rice flour, or a mixture of both. Xanthan gum can be used in place of guar gum.
  6. Whipped dressing can be used instead of mayonnaise.
  7. To make 48 mini muffins, use mini muffin pans and bake for 10 minutes.
