Honey Muffins



I don't have a picture of the honey muffins I made this week. Why? Because my kids hoovered them like a vacuum.  As soon as they came out of the oven and cooled enough not to burn their mouths, they were gone. My kids were either extremely hungry or they really liked these muffins. I'm going to go with the latter.

This recipe is not my own, but Bruce Fife's from Cooking with Coconut Flour. Coconut flour baked goods can often be a little dry.  These muffins are soft and super moist and even rose nicely.

3 eggs
2 Tbsp butter, melted (I used coconut oil to make it dairy free)
2 Tbsp whole milk or coconut milk
3 Tbsp honey
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup of coconut flour, sifted
1/4 tsp of baking powder (to make this grain free use this grain free baking powder recipe)

Preheat oven to 400.  Mix well all the ingredients except coconut flour and baking powder.  Stir in coconut flour and baking powder.  You don't want any lumps.  Pour into well greased muffin tins and bake for 15 minutes for standard muffins and 10 for minis.  It makes about 6 regular muffins or 18 mini muffins.

I made mini muffins because my children tend to prefer them over the bigger size.
