So I FINALLY had a successful Paleo baking recipe. After much trial and error- I'm talking grainy-textured cupcakes, lumpy cakes, and cardboard-tasting cookies- I finally made a Paleo recipe that tasted GOOD. Paleo baking is really hard without flour, milk, or butter- the usual ingredients that are involved when it comes to baking something yummy. So if you miss baking, or want a post-workout snack or breakfast, try this! So yummy, and it's a treat you can enjoy without guilt :)
You will need:
Muffins:
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 4 eggs
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 large ripe bananas
Frosting:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, at room temp (not melted)
- 1/2 cup roasted and unsalted almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
Prep:
- Preheat oven to 350 and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners
- Place the coconut oil, eggs, honey, and vanilla in a bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth
- In a separate bowl stir together the coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda and salt, then pour in with the wet ingredients and beat again
- In another bowl mash the bananas together with the protein powder and water until a mush is formed, combine with the other ingredients and beat on medium until well combined
- Bake for approx. 20-25 minutes. Insert a toothpick or fork into muffins- when it comes out clean, they are ready to remove from the oven.
- Prepare the frosting by combining all ingredients in a blender and blending until smooth. If the frosting is a little runny just place it in the fridge for a few minutes to harden up.
- Once the muffins have cooled completely you can frost them.
