In small bowl combine all the Crumb Mixture ingredients, stir well-set aside.
In large mixing bowl with paddle attachment add; white rice flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, xatham gum, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg.  Mix on low speed until blended.  Add in brown sugar, oil, applesauce, vanilla, milk substitute and egg replacer mixture.  Mix on medium speed, scraping down when needed, until ingredients are incorporated.  You may need to add a tablespoon or more of milk substitute if batter is to thick.  Keep in mind this is not a pourable batter when adding extra liquid.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Fill prepared baking cups up 1/2 way with batter, add a spoonful of raspberry preserves.  Fill to top with remaining batter and top with crumb mixture.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25- 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
