I am so due for another low carb recipe post. This will I have a simple muffin recipe that I’m sure you will love. These mini muffins are irresistible and very delicious. What I love most about them is the portion size.
I use a combination of flax seeds and almond flour in this recipe. If you can’t tolerate nut flour, you can definitely substitute it with coconut flour.
Whenever I tell people that I can make all the recipes I want without having to use wheat or other grain flours. I always get the look…
If there is a will there is a way. Thankfully nowadays, one can find unlimited substitutes for allergens. If you have absolutely no problem with wheat and you want to use it for this recipe, by all means, you can do so. This is simply a variation for anyone trying to follow a low carb diet for health reasons.
This blog is all about anti-inflammation recipes and I will continue to only share recipes that have helped me in my back pain healing journey~
These muffins are:
- Gluten free
- grain free
- Low carb
- High in protein (the eggs, and almond flour contain protein)
- Can be dairy free if you don’t use milk 😉
