Ingredients
¾ cup coconut flour (sifted)
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
6 eggs
½ cup melted coconut oil
¼ – ½ cup rice malt syrup or honey (depending on how sweet you want them)
1 tsp natural vanilla extract or ½ vanilla pod scraped
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a mini muffin tray with 20 muffin cases or baking paper cut outs.
- Mix dry ingredients in one bowl.
- Beat eggs in another medium sized bowl. Add syrup / honey and vanilla. Beat well to combine.
- Add coconut oil (but make sure it is not too hot as it will scramble your eggs) and mix until combined.
- Add wet ingredients to dry mixture and mix well, then leave to sit for 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb all that liquid.
- Then add you ‘add-in’ flavour combination. For example – 1-2 small bananas mashed and 2 tbsp chia seeds, ½ cup frozen berries (plus extra for topping) and ½ cup fine dessicated coconut, 1 fined diced apple with ¼ cup dried mulberries or walnuts….you choose.
- Cook in the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto cooling rack.
Enjoy!
