Almond spice muffins.


These are delicious, highly adaptable and ok to eat when on a strict candida diet.  I dropped a few blueberries into some of them for Ike.

Makes 12 smallish muffins.

Set oven to 350 and grease or prepare muffin tins with liners


In a saucepan, combine:

1/2 cup coconut oil (you can use butter, 6 Tablespoons, a little less than a stick)
1/3 cup sugar (or xylitol) to oil/butter.

Heat on low until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved.


Combine in a large bowl with a large spoon:


3/4 cups almond flour
1/3 cup flax meal
1 tsp cinammon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Make a well in the center and add:

3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Scramble together eggs without mixing into the dry ingredients.
Add oil/butter mixture and mix with eggs, still without mixing into the dry ingredients
Finally, gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just mixed.
Spoon into muffin tins.

Bake for about 20 minutes at 350, serve with a pat of butter.

Make them chocolate!
Same as above but pull the spices and add 1/4 cup cocoa powder.

Scrumptious.
