We’re on the ninth recipe for March Muffin Madness (MMM) and today we have our first savory muffins. So often people choose sweet over savory but when the savory recipe is Low-Carb Pizza Muffins, I don’t think that will be the case! Because we all know pizza rules so these gluten-free, low carb Pizza Muffins are the perfect recipe to share on a Friday—which, fittingly, is traditional “pizza night.”

Keep reading to get the recipe, learn who created these genius muffins, check out the daily giveaway (multiple signed copies of this person’s best-selling cookbooks), and double check that you’re entered into the overall grand prize giveaway.

Elana’s Pantry

I’m happy to share a teenager-pleasing, family-pleasing, crowd-pleasing recipe from my good friend Elana of Elana’s Pantry! I had already been following Elana’s blog for a while when I started gfe at the tail end of 2008. So it was a delight that we actually get to meet each other at a blogging conference in 2009.

The fact that Elana came with a large container of her gluten-free chocolate chip cookies in hand, made her super popular with all the gluten-free food bloggers! That was especially true during the cocktail hour when there were no gluten-free offerings.

Thankfully, a chocolate chip cookie with a glass of wine works just fine! And the fact that Elana’s famous cookies are almond-flour based and, therefore, have a protein component made them a better accompaniment to a glass of wine than the usual gluten-free cookies.

It wasn’t too much later that Elana generously hosted a mini gluten-free blogging retreat for several of us at her home in Colorado. I came across my photos from that trip recently and thought you all might enjoy seeing Elana’s actual pantry, the original one anyway. The one from the home that she lived in when she started Elana’s Pantry.

Elana has since moved to another home, but here are some snapshots of Elana with some of our gluten-free blogger friends in her “old” kitchen. You might even recognize some of the faces you see here. (You won’t see me though as I was behind the camera for all of the photos taken by my camera.) And have you ever seen a more ginormous mortar and pestle? I loved it!

In addition to sharing so very many outstanding recipes with us over the years, Elana has openly shared her health journey. Each of us is different in our health needs, of course, but one thing that most of us with celiac or non-celiac gluten sensitivity have is multiple health issues.

Sharing our health issues and symptoms—and our strategies for dealing with them—with each other can be helpful. Read more on Elana’s About page and via her health updates.

The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook (signed copies) (4 winners; sponsored by Elana Amsterdam)

Elana’s first cookbook still remains a classic! It put blanched almond flour on the map for gluten-free, grain-free cooking, and, later, for paleo lifestyles. Honeyville Almond Flour is the blanched almond flour that Elana recommends and you’ll find her aforementioned chocolate chip cookie recipe right on the back of the bag!
