  • 1¾ cups butter, melted
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 4-6 drops lavender oil, depending on taste
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
  • ½ cup white rice flour
  • ½ cup sweet sorghum flour
  • ⅔ cup potato starch
  • ¼ cup tapioca starch
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons almond milk, or milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • splash of almond extract (about ⅛ teaspoon)
  • 1 drop lavender oil
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line mini muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
  2. Begin making muffins by adding melted butter, eggs, honey, brown sugar, almond extract, and lavender oil (starting with 4 drops) to a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Whisk until smooth.
  3. In a separate smaller mixing bowl sift together baking powder, baking soda, salt, xanthan gum, white rice flour, sorghum flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until incorporated. Whisk 1 minute more.
  5. Fill liners ⅔ way full and bake at 350 degrees, one pan at a time, for 10-12 minutes or until tops bounce back at touch of a finger and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean with few crumbs. Cool on cooling rack for 1 minute before removing. Remove muffins from tins and continue cooling on rack.
  6. As muffins are cooling, begin making glaze. Stir together all ingredients. Add more almond extract if desired. Thin glaze with additional milk or thicken with additional powdered sugar. Spoon a small amount of glaze over each muffin and top with sliced almonds.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!
