Paleo Muffins ???

I pureed the mango and used it in place of the other wet ingredients, such as pumpkin,

Here's another incarnation for your spreadsheet:

Hazelnut/chocolate muffins (classic combo, but this recipe makes too few to be economically viable for sharing. Utterly, completely delicious though!)

1 1/2 cups hazelnut flour
1/2 cup chestnut flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup grated chocolate (I used Dagoba unsweetened. It has no soy lecitin. Just pure cocoa butter)

Whisk dry ingredients together. This gets air into them and makes the mix lighter

1/2 cup coconut oil
2 large or 3 small eggs
1/2 cup agave syrup (more if you like it sweeter)
1 tsp vanilla (paste or extract)

I blended these in my blender. Also adds air.

fold wet and dry ingredients together gently, and spoon into muffin cups.

Makes 9 large ones.

I thought I'd report that I made the original recipe and substituted grated cranberries (that I had in the freezer) for the raisins and muffins came out yummy!

Also I find if I let the batter sit for 30 min to an hour after mixed b/f baking the muffins come out more "cake like." These instructions are also listed in the original recipe as a side note.

Deb,

Thank you so much for emailing me the different recipes for these muffins. I made them the original way yesterday. I had one out of the oven and one for breakfast this am and I'm still full. It was a great treat!!

Love,
Connie

It's been so long since I made any muffins. I can't even remember writing any of this, let alone baking so many different types. My memory is so bad I forget stuff from day to day, and minute to minute.
I cannot eat egg whites any more. And it is way too hot to turn on an oven!
Amazing!

Leslie,

It has been at least two yrs since anyone has posted to this post. I pray all is well with you.

Love,
Connie

How are you doing, Lesley? Are you still taking LDN?

As for the muffins, I've never been without paleo muffins in the freezer since I tried the recipe years ago. They are a breakfast staple for me and something I depend upon when traveling. My favorite is made with canned pumpkin and pistachios.

I hope you're doing well, Lesley.

Hey guys,
Yes, I am taking LDN, and it's helping, though not my gut. I tried reducing the dose, and the pain came flooding back. I went back to 4.5, and the pain is better, though not gone.

I have not made muffins for a very long time. It's too hot to bake, and I am pretty sure I can't eat egg whites. Now I am beginning to suspect the yolks too. Very upsetting.

I will need to try again, see if I can substitute for eggs.

Hugs all around!
