Divide amongst muffin tins & bake at 150C for 20 - 30 mins until cakes are golden. Cool in the pan then turn out onto wire rack.

The recipe is from an australian company called Manna from Heaven who make gluten free treats & have just released a book. Very easy,good to look at & even better to eat !
