These muffins are dairy, gluten, nut and sugar free. They are only sweetened with fruit.
Ingredients
  • ⅚ cups of coconut flour (1/2 cup plus ⅓ cup)
  • ⅓ cup Spectrum organic palm shortening
  • 1 teaspoon organic Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon organic vanilla extract
  • 3 yellow plantains (ripe) with some black spots
  • 9 organic pitted dates
  • 2 pasture raised eggs
  • ½ cup hot, filtered water
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder or 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees bake.
  2. Combine dates in bowl with hot water. Massage dates into water. Allow to soak 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add dates and water to food processor. Puree.
  4. Chop plantains into a few pieces. Add to food processor.
  5. Add all remaining ingredients except eggs. Mix or puree in food processor.
  6. Add eggs. Mix again in food processor.
  7. Use a muffin cup tray. I use a 12 cup stainless steel muffin tray. Line each cup with unbleached parchment cups or rub each cup with a little palm shortening to keep the muffins from sticking.
  8. Place batter in 12 muffin cups, dispersing the batter equally. I find an ice cream scoop to be helpful for this.
  9. Bake for 35 minutes or until a fork is placed in the muffin and comes out clean. These are moist muffins.
  10. Enjoy!
