grain free raisin "bran" muffins (scd diet)
these muffins are wanna-be raisin bran, but really, they're just filled raisins and healthy ingredients that make for a hearty muffin
Servings: 10 muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 6 medjool dates softened by soaking in boiling hot water for 10-15 minutes, or soaked in room temperature water overnight. skins removed.
- 2 small/medium apples peeled, grated, drained of excess moisture
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup organic raisins my favorite brand is organic Sun-Maid
Instructions
- Using a food processor, start by mixing your coconut flour with all the spices and baking soda, and then mix in the wet ingredients, except the apple and raisins.
- Remove the blade from the food processor once the wet ingredients are all well combined, and fold in the shredded apple (drain it first by squeezing the shredded apple in between the palms of your hands in the sink, you’ll see all the liquid that comes out of it.)
- Fold in the raisins, and save some for placing on top of the muffin before you put them in the oven.
- In a parchment paper cup lined baking tray scoop the muffin batter – it will make six jumbo muffins or 10 regular size muffins. Place some of the extra raisins scattered on top of each muffin.
- Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the muffins to cool completely before removing from tray. Store in fridge or freezer -- as with many of my baked goods, they freeze extremely well and can be removed individually when you have a hankering-- simply defrost on the counter or pop it in the oven/toaster oven for a few minutes to warm it up.
