How To: Make Cinnamon Gluten Free Mini Muffins
A year ago, if you would’ve told me I started each day with a gluten free, dairy free muffin I would’ve scrunched up my face in disgust. Little did I know just how tasty healthy alternatives are!
Almond flour is a staple in my kitchen and I use it as much as possible as a replacement for all-purpose flour.
I’ve also discovered the true beauty of a coconut and all of its offerings! Coconut milk, coconut sugar, coconut cream, coconut oil – this fruit is the jack of all trades and helps me with SO many nutritious swaps. In this recipe I utilize coconut oil and coconut sugar and they are such yummy additions.
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Step 2: First, mix the wet ingredients: eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Step 3: Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients: cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and coconut sugar. Stir well before adding the almond flour.
- Step 4: Add the almond flour a little at a time, stirring until well combined.
- Step 5: Grease a mini muffin pan with avocado oil. Fill each well full with balls of batter – do not worry about overfilling.
- Step 6: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the muffins are firm to the touch. Let cool slightly before removing from the pan – almond flour is prone to crumbling easily.
