Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffin--GAPS Friendly****



I adapted Elana's Pantry's gluten free Chocolate Cupcakes with buttercream frosting to make it GAPS diet friendly, and I substituted honey for agave nectar.  I added 1 Tbsp of water because the batter was a little too thick.  I put 1 tsp of peanut butter in the middle, well, just because I could!  I'm calling them muffins because I did not frost them and they were not sweet enough to be called cupcakes.

This recipe makes 6 muffins

¼ cup coconut flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
¼ cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup of honey
2 Tbsp peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350.  Melt coconut oil in a small pan.  Mix dry ingredients in a medium bowl.  Combine liquid ingredients in a large bowl.  Put cupcake liners into cupcake tin.  Drop 2 Tbsp of batter into tin and then 1 tsp of peanut butter.  Add 2 more Tbsp of batter on top.  Bake for15 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean.

The kids approved of these partly because they got to eat chocolate for breakfast! 

***Some people can tolerate cocoa on GAPS and some can't.  See FAQ's at gapsdiet.com for more details.
