photo 3Who doesn’t love a good muffin?? Well now you can enjoy them with out those bad ingredients… added sugar, dairy, gluten and all that yucky stuff. This modified muffin recipe is both gluten free, dairy free and packed with protein!! Making them satisfying and soooo delicious!!

This recipe is my new obsession, makes for a great breakfast or snack. Wheat based foods (gluten) are a very common food intolerance for many people which results in unwanted health issues. Although I am not completely gluten free I try to avoid it when possible.

So instead of using wheat flour for this recipe, almond flour is used. This is a great source of healthy “good” fat.

Now get baking!
