Coconut Flour Apple Muffins
I just made these coconut flour apple muffins this afternoon. I wasn't planning on making muffins today, but someone posted this recipe and I just happened to have all the ingredients in the kitchen. It seemed too good to be true. A sign from some higher power that I just NEEDED to make these muffins... and I'm really glad I did. MMMMM, soooo good. The first muffin I had (yes, I've had more than one in the brief time they have been out of the oven) was pretty good, but had that weird texture you get with coconut flour. Then Drew had one with butter on it. Butter! And that butter really made a difference. It made these muffins down right decadent. Here are the ingredients:
- coconut flour
- baking soda
- salt
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- cloves
- lemon juice (or vinegar)
- coconut oil
- honey
- beaten eggs
- shredded apples
With just one pass at this recipe I did notice it was hard to keep the coconut oil in it's liquid state, since it tends to firm up at room temperature. Also, they didn't rise as much as I expected them too, so I'll put the baking soda in last next time. The original recipe was posted on the BTVC-SCD list by Terri. If you want the full recipe feel free to contact me. Also, you may have noticed the honey in this recipe, I'm trying out small quantities while slowly working honey back in. No immediate reactions, only time will tell if I can handle it on a daily basis.
