Meat Muffins (meatloaf in muffin tins)
Diets for autoimmune disorders or Irritable Bowel Syndrome usually include a high protein main course of meat. Here is a quick and easy, freezable entree.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl combine:
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 Cup non dairy milk, (I prefer plain rice or almond)
2/3 Cup "breadcrumbs" (I recently toasted some old gluten free brown rice bread, can also use ground almonds, brown rice or crushed gluten free crackers)
1/2 Cup chopped onion (onions are high FODMAP, if any digestive inflammation replace with celery or fennel)
1 t salt
a dash of black pepper
To this mixture add 1.5 lbs ground meat (beef, lamb, turkey, chicken; I recently used 1/2 lamb, 1/2 turkey). Place in ungreased muffin tins, 3/4 full.
In a small bowl combine:
1 Cup ketchup (check ingredients, I prefer naturally sweetened or unsweetened)
1/2 Cup coconut sugar
1 t Worcestershire sauce (check ingredients and make your own if necessary, see below)
Set aside 1/2 Cup for sauce, spread remaining over tops of meat muffins. Bake at 350 degrees 30-40 mins, depending on your oven and muffin tin size. Enjoy 1 serving and freeze the rest.
Homemade Worcestershire sauce
In a small bowl, mix together:
1/4 Cup apple cider vinegar
1 T each water and gluten free soy sauce (I prefer coconut aminos)
1.5 t coconut sugar
1/2 t mustard powder
1/8 t each garlic, onion powder and cinnamon, (garlic and onion are high FODMAP and can be skipped)
