Healthier Morning Muffins
Looking for “healthier” breakfast items I found this one from Dr Mark Hyman’s 10 Day Detox AND I’ve made some modifications to make it simple. This has been a breakfast go-to since I’ve been trying to reduce my blood sugar impact. I love one with a smear of peanut butter. No sugar spike at all.
Prep Time:15 Minutes Cook Time: 15-20 Minutes Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg (I didn’t have any so I used Pumpkin Spice)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 eggs (organic free range)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (or coconut oil, melted)
- 2 teaspoons real vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup carrots, grated
- 1 cup zucchini, grated
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- ¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut Optional to sprinkle on the top
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional if you want some sweetness)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Combine all dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Set aside
- In a bowl, beat eggs then add in oil, vanilla and lemon juice. Then stir in carrots, zucchini, and walnuts
- Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir to combine
- Place batter into prepared muffin tin, leaving about ¼ room at top. Sprinkle with coconut
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the muffins are lightly browned on top and spring back when touched
- Let muffin tins cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing
- Store unconsumed muffins in an airtight container or covered plate in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat before consuming in order to add back moisture
Serving Suggestion: Serve with a couple of eggs and spread with a little nut butter
