In reply to Marylyn. I'm wondering if you used a Vitamix food processor rather than a Vitamix blender. The blender is much slower, so it doesn't heat up like a processor.

As soon as I saw your IG post for these muffins, I began pulling out the ingredients to make them. I used my Vitamix blender, and they turned out great. I topped them with chocolate chips, walnuts, coconut flakes and chia seeds, and my husband loved them. I just texted a link to my daughter. Thank you for all the recipes you share.

Glad they went down well! Gluten free baking without added gums tends to provide a more dense or flat product. I like to make them with whole grain low FODMAP grains for health and nutrition–so it’s a small price to pay. Maybe reduce the blending time–Vitamix blenders are pretty powerful!

Hi Kate,
Your blender pumpkin/oats muffins went down well, as my husband likes to say. To my eye, they were flatter than I’m accustomed to seeing. I’m wondering if the gluten free oats I used could make that difference. Also, 2 minutes in my Vitamix blender–the batter heated up in this time–may have been overblending? Thank you for recipes catering to digestive frailties.

Hi Kate- Love these muffins…so yummy! Can’t wait to try sweet potatoes or papaya. You always do such an awesome job with texture, and just the right amount of sweet. My hubby loves them. I my blender bogged down also, but Cathy could use a coffee grinder or a mini food processor instead. Its nice to be able to print out your recipes for friends and family. Thanks so much!

In reply to Judith Wiesberg.

Hi Judith, I realize some people like or may need to have nutritional value for recipes, such as with diabetes–but I believe that for the vast majority of people living with IBS it does more harm than good. It moves people away from listening to their body’s internal cues- how food makes them feel–and instead focuses on external cues which may lead to hyper-vigilance and in more extreme cases disordered eating.
