I've had some Jowar flour samples in the freezer for a while - finally
decided to try it the other p.m. & used my muffin recipe that I've been
making GF muffins with for a while.  These turned out to be the best
muffins I've baked since going GF some years ago.  I hope it wasn't a
fluke, & that the next batch will turn out as well.  Anyway, because of the
number of posts on the subject, I thought perhaps it would be worth while
sharing my recipe.
 
MUFFINS:
 
2 C Jowar flour (or other GF flour mix)
1/2 C quinoa flakes (see note)
3/4 to 1 C buttermilk                   6 T melted butter or margarine
 
1 t baking soda                         4 T molasses
1 T baking powder                       2 T raw or brown sugar
dash salt                               3/4 C chopped pecans or walnuts
2 t xanthan gum                         1/3 C pineapple juice
2 eggs                                  3/4 C combined raisins & choppped dried
1 egg white                                 fruit (pineapple, apricots, etc.)
 
Combine juice w/fruits in small pan & heat until juice simmers. Turn off
heat, stir, & allow to soak while proceding w/recipe.
 
Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, & xanthan gum, then mix in
the quinoa.
 
Combine eggs, egg white, 3/4 C buttermilk, butter, molasses, & sugar.
 
Stir flour mix into wet mix. Stir in the fruits, juice, & nuts. If mixture
is too dry, add remaining buttermilk.
 
Spoon into greased muffin tins, and bake in a 350 oven for about 18 minutes.
Muffins are done when a toothpick comes out clean.  This makes about 18 muffins.
 
Note:  Quinoa Flakes are made by "Ancient Harvest" and are distributed by
Quinoa Corp., P.O. Box 1039, Torrance, CA, 90505.  They are sold in natural
food mkts. & health food stores.  Lots of protein in those little suckers!
They might be good for "oatmeal" cookies, too, but haven't tried that yet.
 
I hope I didn't leave something out!
