I’ve been slightly obsessed with rosemary lately. I put it in everything and just can’t seem to get enough of this delicious herb. My latest rosemary victim? Gluten free Lemon Rosemary Mini Muffins made with coconut flour.
I find that rosemary almost has a buttery flavor. It’s also power packed with nutrients including iron and calcium. These gluten free muffins are more of an adult treat than something for children. I’ve been in the mood lately for tasty snacking and dessert items that aren’t too sweet and are filled with interesting flavor. These hit the spot!
Lemon Rosemary Mini-Muffins
Serves: 12 Mini-Muffins

I hope you like these Lemon Rosemary Muffins, I think they’re equally good for a gluten free breakfast ordessert. Very sophisticated, yet homey and comforting.
This week was packed with action both on the internet and in the real world as well.
I was fortunate enough to meet the lovely Linda from Kitchen Therapy at the ADA Conference earlier in the week where I appeared to do signings for my gluten free cookbook. Linda blogged about her experience encountering all kinds of gluten free people of interest at the ADA Conference and her post is a delight to read.
