Healthy Almond Flour Muffin Recipe

The mission to eat a gluten free diet that isn’t loaded with carbs, continues. After buying and eating what feels like a billion dollar worth of gluten free oats, we’re now experimenting with some new flours. And almond flour and coconut flour are becoming a favorite. (After reading that the top richest people in the world have a combined fortune that can buy them Belgium and ___, I forgot the other country, I feel like billion dollar for oats is not that much now. And now they’re like: Belgium? Who cares? We want the galaxy.).

And I’m sitting here talking about almond flour muffins and trying to feed a 3 year old who’s always trashing my food. We’re all the same. #beinghuman

Not these muffins. He loved them. You know why? One word. CHOCOLATE.

Yes, I melted some chocolate and put it in the middle of these muffins. So, so good and delicious! The muffin is vanilla and together they make the best combination.

How To Make These Paleo Muffins

The first thing you want to do, whenever you’re about to bake something is to preheat your oven. I know, it’s like a waste, because it’s an empty oven and you’re baking nada, but it makes a difference.

While the oven is working hard on nothing, you start working on the muffins. All you need to do here is add all the ingredients one after another to a bowl and mix them. I always like to start with wet ingredients first, mix and then add in the dry ones.

Fill the muffin liners with this mixture until 2/3 and go melt the chocolate for the top.

To do this you’ll melt some chocolate chunks in the microwave with some almond butter and some coconut oil. Mix until combined.

Put a tbsp of the melted chocolate on each muffin, if you’re more creative you can probably also play around with shapes. I just let mine look like moles that need to be checked out by a dermatologist.

Bake in the already hot oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean after you stab the vanilla part of muffin with it. Btw. does anyone ever use a toothpick for that? I always use a small knife. Works too and you don’t waste a toothpick.

Let the muffins cool off, remove the liners carefully and enjoy!

Options

When it comes to muffins, there are many options to make them more versatile. Especially when you don’t have the chocolate in them. Use the base for the muffins and try out some other options, if you wish:

add blueberries or other fruit
stir in almond butter into the batter to make them more nutty
add chocolate chips to the batter
top with some chopped almonds if you haven’t had enough enough almond things for a crunchy top.

And you can probably think of more options too. Also, if you’re following a low carb or ketogenic diet, feel free to leave out the coconut sugar and use a sweetener of choice.
