Gluten Free Autumn Muffins

I decied to play around with gluten free flours yesterday. While I am no baker, I certainly came out of my baking experience with a greater appreciation for the science of baking!
The flavor of these muffins  - superb!
The color - slightly unappealing.
The texture - pretty darn good!
A friend commented that it didn't even taste gluten-free! I take that as a compliment.

These are gluten free, soy free, dairy free, and corn free. They do contain eggs.
