I don't eat grains. My family doesn't eat gluten. I am paleo. I (kind of) like cooking, I love makeup, exercise, nail polish, wine, and, oh yeah, my three kids (under four) aren't too bad either.

Paleo Nut Butter Muffins
I may as well change the blog's name to Grain Free Muffin Lady, or some such thing. I know I make a ton of muffins. Why you ask? Well because they are portable, can be eaten any time of day, are easy to hold with small hands, and make a super easy breakfast for S. I also can throw them in a baggie and bring one to work, as can MKG. Great way to get in some protein and still has that breakfast-y feel that many paleo breakfasts don't have. So, my apologies for all the muffins. I just don't have time to make an elaborate breakfast every morning while I'm rushing to work. If you are in the same boat, I suggest you start experimenting with these great coconut flour muffins too. The basic recipe stays the same.
Paleo Nut Butter Muffins
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup nut/seed butter of choice, like sun or almond or walnut or pecan etc
1/4 cup nut milk of choice
4 room temp eggs
1/4 cup oil, i like walnut for baking for its neutral flavor and favorable omega 3:6 ratio
1/2 cup preferred liquid sweetener
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
In a small microwavable bowl, add your 1/2 cup of nut butter and 1/4 cup nut milk, microwave until its warmed through and easy to stir. In a large mixing bowl, combine your flour, salt, and baking powder and use a fork to break up any lumps and distribute. In a separate bowl, mix your eggs, oil, sweetener, and extract. Let your nut butter mixture cool a bit an add it to your wet ingredients, stir well to incorporate, then add wet to dry. You should have a very wet batter. Bake at 350 until the tops are golden brown and muffins are completely cooked through. This made 8 very large muffins. You could also easily bake this in a loaf pan, or even try in an 8x8 pan. With some chocolate chips, this would taste downright decadent!
I hope you try it and enjoy! Are you getting sick of my muffin recipes or are they useful? Am I the only one out there that makes a batch of muffins every weekend and can't stand the thought of making the same thing week in and week out? Let me know GFGs!
Til next time, xoxo GFG
