I am always in the kitchen trying out new recipes that can satisfy multiple dietary needs and by substituting the butter for coconut oil, this recipe is GF and Vegan approved, plus with a coconut flour base and a lot of good proteins and fats and fruit based sweeteners, this also meets my approval for a healthy breakfast muffin for the entire family. And while you may need to throw in some dark chocolate chips to get your picky eater in the family to go for it, these muffins still pack in a nutritious punch. Coming in at around 10-12 carbs per muffin and a lot of fiber and protein, these also won’t cause a blood sugar spike and will keep you full for hopefully longer than a pop tart will!
