This recipe is a work in progress. I'm a Nutrition major at Georgia Southern University and as part of our capstone experience we design a food product from scratch, produce over 24 variations of the recipe, market, do research, etc. These muffins are my brain child - they cater to all the major food allergies, contain whole grain flour, minimal amounts of sugar, and each muffin contains either 1/3 cup to 1/4 cup vegetables per serving. The chocolate flavor overpowers the vegetables which provide a moist, soft texture. I will be posting my final recipe in a few months. To the many people who requested this recipe...Enjoy!

1 cup sorghum flour
3/4 tsp. guar gum
1/4 tsp. salt
