SCD Almond Flour Muffins

June 27, 2017


I shopped around recipes and these were the simplest muffins with legal ingredients I already had in the house. 

You will need: 

1 cup of almond flour, 1/4 tsp baking soda, 
2 large eggs, 1 Tbsp of raw honey, and 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar. 

N.B. Baking soda is legal. Baking powder is illegal. Do not mix them up! Look for recipes with soda not powder. 

You mix the two dry ingredients, then mix the 3 wet ingredients in a different bowl. Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ones and bake at 175C / 350F for 15 minutes. That made a batch of 6 small muffins. We ran out of almond flour or I'd have made more! I served them with butter and sides of scrambled eggs and berries. 

My son loved them! He hasn't been able to eat any muffins for over a year because sugary things have made him throw up. So he was happy! We went to a bulk store and bought more almond flour for way cheaper than we found at the health food store. We have been experimenting with it so stay tuned for more almond flour posts. This has really added to our breakfast possibilities, which is great because eggs and fruit salad alone every day was gonna get old fast!


On the second try, we added fresh blueberries to the mix. Because this mixture is not as thick as regular dough, they all sunk to the bottom and made the muffins a bit soggy. Try placing about 3 blueberries in each cup once you've already put the mix into the cupcake pan. 

On the third try, we omitted the blueberries and instead added a generous sprinkling of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. Then once everything was mixed, I added a mushed up banana (I used a fork to mush). That batch was really good! But it maybe could have used an extra 2-5 minutes in baking because of the added moisture. 

On the fourth try, we left out the bananas and blueberries and put a tablespoon of pure, organic peanut butter in the batter. Also great!
