These muffins have become a staple in my household over the past year or so. I eat them for breakfast, as a snack, and as an after-dinner treat. I love them with plain Greek yogurt, with a little nut butter, or just plain! They are so delicious, are made with simple real ingredients, and are low in sugar (and FREE of added sugars!). My perfect breakfast is one of these guys with a some plain Greek yogurt spread on top and a side of fruit. So satisfying, filling, perfectly sweet, and will keep you energized throughout the morning with no sugar crash in sight!

These are wonderful for anyone who is gluten-free and/or anyone who has blood sugar issues. They are also just good for anyone who likes muffins! They are a good source of healthy fats (almond flour, coconut oil), they have fiber to help keep you full (almond flour, banana, berries if you add them), and they are much better for blood sugar control than your traditional muffin.  I recommend playing around with the toppings – I’ve been really into blackberry/dark chocolate as well as a peach/dark chocolate combo.

Make these muffins as part of your food prep for the week, and keep them in your fridge so you can grab one an easy breakfast or snack. As I mentioned, I recommend pairing them with a little nut butter and/or Greek yogurt and some fruit for a complete breakfast/snack. 

Enjoy!!
