Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1.25 cups ground flaxseed meal This will serve as the base of our muffins, adding fiber and healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
  • 1.25 cups ground almond flour A fantastic gluten-free flour option that adds a nutty flavor and moist texture.
  • 2.5 T baking powder This is essential for giving the muffins a nice rise.
  • 0.75 cup granulated Monkfruit sweetener A natural, low-calorie sweetener that won't spike your blood sugar.
  • 4 T ground cinnamon For that warm, cozy flavor; feel free to adjust according to your taste.
Wet Ingredients
  • 10 eggs beaten well; the protein-packed ingredient that binds everything together.
  • 5 T melted coconut oil This adds moisture and a subtle tropical flavor.
  • 1 T vanilla extract I recommend using Mexican vanilla for an extra depth of flavor.

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your muffins rise perfectly and bake evenly.
  2. Grease your muffin tin with a bit of coconut oil or line it with muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground flaxseed meal, almond flour, baking powder, Monkfruit sweetener, and ground cinnamon. Whisk them together until well-combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs well. Then, add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well blended.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your muffins light and fluffy.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This allows room for them to rise without overflowing.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
  8. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm, or store them for later!

Notes

  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, place them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds before enjoying.
