With all the talk about going gluten-free and everyone wanting to give up eating flour, I decided to create a recipe for no flour muffins that didn’t taste like cardboard. Instead of flour, I used almond meal. (ground up almonds) The muffins aren’t as fluffy as they would be with flour but they sure are yummy and good for you.
Can no flour muffins taste good?
It can if it’s mixed with berries and dark chocolate chips!
There’s no sugar added either, only natural honey, which has health benefits too. Both the berries and the dark chocolate contain antioxidants. Almonds reduce heart attacks, lower cholesterol, protect your arteries, build strong bones and teeth, are a “healthy” fat, good for the brain and nervous system, and help to alkalize your body. Other “healthy” ingredients include organic coconut oil and apple cider vinegar. You could almost call them detox muffins!
So go ahead and eat these no flour muffins without guilt and enjoy!
