I have been on a sugar free, grain free muffin kick for about two weeks. I took some recipes I found in different places and changed them to be sweetened only by fruits and stevia. All were delicious! Above you see Date Pecan Muffins. Below, Apple Cinnamon Walnut Muffins. And last, Strawberry Banana Muffins!
Now that I've been cooking for a few years (I used to only eat pre-packaged food or take-out from restaurants), I feel much more confident about changing other people's recipes to suit my family's personal needs. I'd share the recipes I used for the above, but I was creating them on the fly and not completely measuring everything. All three are made from almond flour and eggs, use about 10-15 drops of vanilla stevia, and contain some amount of coconut milk and unsweetened applesauce. I usually look for recipes from Elana Amsterdam of Elana's Pantry, or Danielle Walker of Against All Grain, and then modify them. Also, Kelly of The Spunky Coconut shares creative ideas, too.
I encourage you to do this, too. Don't ever feel limited by a recipe you find. Paleo recipes are especially open to change. For instance, when you see palm oil as an ingredient, you can substitute with ghee and sometimes coconut oil for more nutrition and less damage to the rainforest.
Happy Baking!
