Before my much healthier grain-free days I did enjoy an occasional grain-filled gluten-free muffin, but it was definitely never my favorite snack. And they certainly could never sustain me for any length of time.
But in these grain-free days I have come to love muffins – the grain-free kind of course! Without grains muffins cannot only be delicious, but they can also be full of good protein, fat – AND even vegetables 🙂 That’s basically a whole meal in one muffin- not that I would ever consider a meal to be JUST one muffin, but this does make them perfect for a grab-and-go kind of day.
So, as I began “playing in the kitchen” (my husband’s naming of my frequent activity in the kitchen) and creating this recipe I knew that I wanted it to be quite wholesome. I also knew that I wanted it to include what has become one of my favorite baking ingredients – toasted coconut butter. I love how it lends a subtle toasty flavor to Paleo baked goods that is otherwise hard to achieve. It’s also much more gentle on our guts than a nut butter (and we are all about some gut-healin’!)
These muffins definitely have that delicious toasty flavor, making them wonderfully savory. They are also full of protein, healthy fats, and some hidden vegetable vitamins 😉 This recipe is quite basic – and I am certain that I will revisit it soon to spice it up for this coming fall! 🙂 Please let me know if you decide to add some dried fruit, nuts, coconut, or fun spices! I believe these tasty muffins can be quite versatile for you. Enjoy!
Prep: 15 min Cook: 20 – 22 min Yields: 12 muffins
Enjoy 🙂
