How cute is that little muffin? Too bad he doesn’t exist anymore. Yup, ate ‘em. And guess what… I could eat it and it agreed with my stomach. So awesome! I did some research and came up with a nice digesting recipe that will calm the sweet tooth, be all natural and paleo, a small portion size, low carb, high protein, and gluten free. Just a heads up… from now on all of my baked goods will be made will almond flour or coconut flour… found in Whole Foods (just in case you want to make these little gems yourself).
1/4 cup coconut flour… 1/4/teaspoon sea salt… 1/4 teaspoon baking powder… cinnamon… 3 eggs… 2 tablespoons of butter… 1 teaspoon vanilla extract… 3 tablespoons of honey…. 1/2 cup cranberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In one giant bowl mix 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and a large dash of cinnamon.
In a small bowl mix 3 eggs, 2 tablespoons of butter (or coconut oil), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons of honey
Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry and lightly fold until it is all combined. Fold in cranberries. Grease mini muffin tins with PAM or oil and pour batter into tins. Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes and eat one with a glass of almond milk (or whichever milk you like)!
(Each mini muffin is around 100 calories) Made about a dozen. You certainly do not have to make them mini muffins. They can be large or turned into a loaf.

Those muffins look yummy! And I think you went over this in the Food Rules Challenge, but why use sea salt and not regular salt?
