I took the original recipe on this site and changed it to be gluten-free and lower in sugar and fat. These muffins were highly praised, thinking these were too good to be gluten-free! I prefer to cut the fat and sugar in half using applesauce and agave nectar.

AIP Breakfast Tapioca Porridge (Grain Free and Paleo)
Whether you are following an AIP diet, you're intolerant to grains, or you simply want to switch up the taste of your breakfast porridge with a great and creamy texture, this healthy grain-free recipe is perfect for you! This vanilla-maca tapioca porridge with rhubarb and raspberry sauce is one of my favorite grain-free alternatives. As you probably saw on my Facebook and Instagram, I often make it. What I love about this recipe is that it's suitable for anybody as I worked very hard to make it compliant to basically every allergy in the world.
