    Wouldn’t almond flour be a healthier alternate than corn meal which is typically GMO and starchy?
    I have used almond flour in place of corn meal successfully with other recipes and will try it with this one.

    I just made these muffins, and they are delicious! I subbed Target’s gluten free flour mix for the rice and tapioca flour, and they came out just fine. I also used frozen wild blueberries. I will definitely be making these again!
