Joe's Almost Paleo Mini-muffins

Okay, alright, we admit it, these bad boys are not Paleo. Every now and then we are going to present some ideas that push the boundaries a little. Think of these as a better way to fall off the wagon. We're not suggesting you go mental on this kind of stuff. We do however want to present you with a way of having something sweet without exposing yourself to all the nasties out there.

Ingredients:

  • Blanched or raw almond meal, 300grams (approx.)
  • Eggs yolk, 2 (keep whites for an omelette)
  • Coconut milk, roughly 100ml (enough to make consistency thick like batter)
  • Cinnamon powder, 1 teaspoon
  • Blueberries or diced fruit of you choice (1/2 cup)
  • Spray oil (EVOO)

Method:

  • First pre-heat oven to 180 degrees
  • Weigh ingredients
  • Grab a large bowl and combine all dry ingredients therein
  • Separate eggs and add to dry mix along with coconut milk
  • Combine with a wooden spoon and then add fruit
  • Spray tins and spoon in the mixture, keeping in mind almond meal doesn't rise like flour so add mixture to top. 
  • Bake for roughly 15 mins.
  • Grab a skewer and poke into the middle of muffin, if it comes out clean, muffins are ready. Easy as.
  • Double or triple the recipe and buy 2 extra tins to make a large batch at the start of the week. They freeze up fairly well

Makes: 12-15 (approx.)

Prep/cook time: 30 minutes

Notes:

  • Gluten free
  • Dairy free
