This morning I had leftover batter from the Whole Grain Gluten Free Pancakes I made yesterday, but wasn't in the mood for pancakes today, so I used the leftovers in a little experiment. They turned out better than I expected! But I still want to develop these into a healthy whole grain breakfast cupcakes version (of course I'll post the finalized recipe when I get it all figured out).


Ingredients:
- 1 cup of leftover Whole Grain Gluten Free Pancake batter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
- 3/4 cup (90grams) sweet white rice flour
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup raisins, loosely packed
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400º.
- Beat the egg and cinnamon into the leftover batter.
- Slowly add the sweet white rice flour, mixing well.
- Fold the raisins into the batter.
- Divide the batter between two medium sized ramekins.
- Place in the middle of the oven and bake for about 40 minutes.
- Remove when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Let cool slightly as ramekins will be very hot.
- Top with brown sugar drizzle (see note 1) (optional). Serve warm
Notes:
- To make the brown sugar drizzle... In a small, microwave-safe bowl mix: 1 Tbsp melted butter, 1 Tbsp low-fat coconut milk, 3 Tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Place bowl in the microwave for about 20 seconds; promptly remove and stir the drizzle again. (Microwaving it helps melt the sugar for a smoother texture and allows the butter to better mix in with the sugar.)
- I don't know if "soufflé" is exactly the correct term for these: they look a lot like soufflés on the outside, and are full of pockets of air inside, but they also have a texture similar to bread pudding on the insides. They are fun to eat, and the drizzle does add a great sweetness to them - they're almost acceptable as a healthy dessert!
