I used to love making a batch of muffins in the evening to have for breakfast over the next couple of days. I was very sad when I started Primal to not be able to do that. Imagine my excitement when I found this recipe in the Primal Blueprint Cookbook. This is one of my favorite recipes!
Serves 6
Ingredients:
1/4 c coconut flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
(or 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
instead of the 3 above spices)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c canned pumpkin
3 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp coconut oil/butter
~ 3 Tbsp honey/maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Chopped pecans/walnuts (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 400 F and grease muffin pans or use aluminum disposable liners. The muffins stick too much to paper liners.
2. Add coconut flour, baking soda, salt and spices into small bowl. Stir to blend well.
3. Place pumpkin in medium mixing bowl. One by one, crack eggs into the bowl, mixing well after each egg is added. Add melted coconut oil/butter, syrup/honey and vanilla and mix.
4. Add flour mixture to egg mixture and blend well with whisk until most of the lumps have disappeared, but do not stir more than necessary to blend. Gently fold in nuts, if using.
5. Spoon into muffin pan/liners to 2/3 full. Bake ~18-20 minutes until lightly golden brown ontop and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
6. Turn out and cool on wire rack. Enjoy!
