Grain & Sugar-Free Blueberry Muffins
GAPS Diet, Paleo, Grain-Free, Sugar-Free
These grain and sugar free blueberry muffins satisfy the bakery cravings, while leaving no concern for health goals. We bake these in large batches and freeze, as they taste fresh again once thawed. We especially love these muffins with a pat of pastured butter, and they are a delicious treat on the GAPS diet!
Why Not Eat Flour and Sugar?
My aunt Jeanette always made the most tasty blueberry muffins. They were flaky and sweet and moist. When I was in college, I brought her recipe with me and baked them frequently. I also had frequent acne breakouts, and didn’t realize the food connection until a few years later when I found the GAPS diet. Fast-forward, I still can’t seem to out grow my childhood blueberry muffin cravings! After substituting a few ingredients, like sugar for honey, and all purpose flour for coconut flour, I have been able to enjoy nourishing blueberry muffins as often as I want without any ill skin effects or other inflammation caused by these ingredients.
