Paleo Lemon and Chia Muffins
Paleo (short for Paleolithic but also called the ‘Caveman’ diet) is a diet that consists mainly of fish, meat, veggies, eggs, and fruit. The idea is to avoid food that would not have been part of the traditional human diet so things like dairy and grains are strictly off limits. As you can imagine, it’s a pretty difficult diet to follow but here’s a quick (and very tasty) recipe for anyone that’s following the diet or that just wants to avoid dairy or gluten. I don’t follow any strict diet but I love exploring clean eating recipes and these muffins are definitely a winner.
Ingredients:
- 5 whole eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
- 1/4 cup melted organic coconut oil
- 1/3 cup honey
- Juice from 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Lemon zest from the 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons of chia seeds
Method:
- Preheat the oven at 160C (320F)
- In a bowl, mix the eggs, lemon juice and vanilla essence together.
- Melt the coconut oil and honey together in the microwave for 30 seconds then add to the mixture. Mix in.
- In a separate bowl, add the coconut flour, lemon zest, chia seeds, baking powder.
- Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring through.
- Spoon the mixture into a muffin tray lined with 12 muffin tins. Distribute evenly.
- Bake for 22 minutes.
