Gluten Free Savory Breakfast Muffins

The main difference between the two is that sun-dried tomatoes' flavor is much more potent than fresh tomatoes. When sun-dried, tomatoes have a sweet, intense flavor and a much chewier texture. Incorporating sun-dried tomatoes into your breakfast meals, like muffins, is a great way to boost the flavor and nutrient value of a dish. Packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, they're loaded with health benefits. If you're gluten intolerant, then savory muffins are an excellent option for a healthy snack. Nearly every muffin recipe can be easily customized to include gluten free ingredients.
