Paleo Blueberry Muffins

Total self disclosure- I ate two of these for lunch yesterday. Do not follow my poor example folks, a green salad with some protein would have been a much better choice. By the time dinner rolled around I was craving meat. These are a great weekend treat though, and the maple nut topping makes them taste like they came straight from a bakery.

Paleo Blueberry Muffins:


Ingredients:
  • 2/3 cup coconut flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 eggs, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  •  1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted 
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 4 tablespoons almond meal
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • pinch of salt
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.  Add eggs, vanilla, maple syrup, coconut milk, and coconut oil, and incorporate.  Fold in the blueberries. For the topping, combine almond meal, pecans, maple syrup, coconut oil, and salt. Scoop muffin batter into 12-15 muffin cups and sprinkle topping over each. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes (30 minutes if you are making bigger muffins).
