Happy Friday, all!
I ordered coconut flour for the first time from one of my favorite sites, Vitacost. Last night I had a little extra time on my hands so I decided to make muffins with it. Here's the recipe followed by a review:
1/2 cup plus 3 TBSP coconut flour
2 TBSP coconut oil (melted)
2 TBSP raw honey
1 TSP vanilla extract
3 eggs
1/3 cup full fat, unsweetened coconut milk (I used organic Thai kitchen)
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/4 cup almond milk
1/8 TSP baking soda
Mix all ingredients together - baked in a greased or muffin lined pan at 350 for 30 minutes.
Review:
Easy and quick to make.
Texture: They won't "puff up" like normal muffins. They'll stay about the same size and might even shrink when they cool down. The middle was a little doughy but I toasted it and drizzled honey on it for breakfast.
Taste: Good. Definitely different than a normal muffin (no flour, butter or sugar - all the good stuff, ha!). They are probably best sliced in half and toasted, then served with honey or a little butter.
Calories: According to MFP, 205 each.
Have you baked without flour and refined sugar? What did you make? What's your opinion on flourless baking?
