I have been working on the perfect grain free muffin for several years now and I finally nailed it. Not only are these muffins some of the best you’ll ever eat, they are packed with fiber and other nourishing ingredients that will make you feel healthy and energized.
Ingredients (makes 12 muffins)
1/2 cup cassava flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup potato starch
2 Tbsp. psyllium husk powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1/8 tsp. sea salt
3/4 cup coconut sugar
1/3 cup honey
4 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup butter or coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Procedure
Preheat oven to 35o and line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
In a medium bowl combine cassava flour, coconut flour, potato starch, psyllium husk, baking soda, cream of tartar, and sea salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
In a large bowl combine coconut sugar, honey, eggs, apple sauce, and vanilla.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir to combine.
Add the melted butter or coconut oil and stir again until well incorporated.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Evenly distribute batter into 12 muffin tins.
Bake at 350 for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool, then store in the refrigerator.
These muffins are good cold; they taste even better warmed briefly in the oven.
Variations—instead of adding chocolate chips, try the following:
1 cup dried cranberries, zest of 1 orange
2 cups fresh blueberries
For Lemon muffins: add 1 additional Tbsp. of cassava flour and coconut flour, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. lemon zest, and 1 tsp. almond extract. Omit the vanilla and chocolate chips.
