My daughter has given up gluten for Lent but doesn't want to give up her favorite breakfast food--muffins. I bought kinnikinnick gluten-free chocolate chip muffins, located in the freezer section of my local grocery. (There's a story behind the name, but quite honestly, you just have to look it up on their Web site. They were a huge hit, but tastiness doesn't always come cheap when it's gluten-free. I won't print the price for fear my husband will read this blog.

We later tried Gluten-free pantry's muffin and scone mix, and they tasted great. We even served them to six of her friends who had spent the night, and none were the wiser. I spiced mine up with a little (okay, a lot of) cinnamon. They were great with butter, and the sky's the little as far as add ins. My daughter voted the first brand as the winner, but I think that had more to do with the chocolate chips than the muffins themselves.
