Grain Free Jumbo Blueberry Muffins

My cashew flour arrived a few days ago and I was really excited to try it. Since cashews are slightly sweet and neutral in flavor I thought it would be perfect for the blueberry muffins I wanted to make.

Nut flours do burn at higher temperatures so it was a bit risky cooking these at a high temperature for 8 minutes, but the trade off was I got a gluten free/ grain free muffin that looked more muffin-y. These were the most like what you would expect taste and texture wise from a traditional muffin. They were super moist and bursting with fresh juicy blueberries.

If you have followed me for a while you know my muffin recipes are not super sweet cupcakes without frosting. They are lightly sweet breakfast treats that won't leave you with a sugar high. As an added nutritional bonus these babies are packed with protein from the cashew flour, a great way to start the day.

Makes 6 Jumbo Muffins

Ingredients:

2 1/4 C Cashew Flour or other nut flour

2 tsp Baking Powder

3 Eggs

1/4 C Oil

1/4 C Honey

1/4 C Milk, I used almond

1 tsp Vanilla

1 1/2 C Blueberries, fresh or frozen

Preheat oven to 425 and grease a jumbo muffin tin. In a large bowl mix together eggs, oil, and honey. Once combined add in vanilla. Next mix in cashew flour and baking powder, then add in milk. Finally add in blueberries. Spoon batter into muffin tin.

Bake muffins at 425 for 8 minutes to get the muffins to crown a bit then turn down the temperature to 325 and bake an additional 16 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.

*If you want to make these into traditional sized muffins I would bake these at 325 for 18-20 minutes.

Grandma's Harvey Wallbanger Cake Makeover

My grandmother made Harvey Wallbanger cake at every family function for as long as I can remember. Birthdays, holiday parties, anytime we'd all get together this cake would be at the center of the table, but after grandma passed away and I became more conscientious of the ingredients that we were eating I stopped making the cake. It her version was made with yellow cake mix vanilla pudding mix which both contained artificial colors and flavors and oftentimes palm oil which I'm allergic to. For a few years I've been trying to find a recipe that matched what I remembered from Grandma's Harvey Wallbanger cake but was unable to find it from scratch recipe that really seemed to hit the mark. Finally I've come up with a recipe that matches the taste and texture of my grandma's Harvey Wallbanger recipe but without any of the artificial ingredients that they put in cake mixes and putting mixes now. I hope you enjoy it! Ingredients: 1 3/4 C Sugar 3/4 tsp Sal...

Pumpkin and Snickerdoodles, a match made in heaven. I've seen different versions of this cookie on various blogs, but the reviews were mixed.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cupcakes

We had a big box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch that I wanted to use for a Rice Krispies treats type of dessert but hadn't gotten to it yet. The only acceptable way to eat cereal in my opinion is straight out of the box. But the others in my house like milk and cereal so I wanted to develop a cupcake with a frosting tasted like the milk, and cake that tasted like the cereal with bits of the cereal on top. I got good feedback while testing this recipe. It's overall not crazy sweet so it could be considered an acceptable breakfast. The cake itself is very dense but the frosting is very light and buttery. Makes 16 Cake: 2 c. All-purpose Flour 1/3 c. Granulated Sugar 1/2 C Brown Sugar 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder 2 tsp. ground Cinnamon 1/4 tsp. Salt 3/4 c. (1 1/2 stick) softened Butter 1 c. Milk 1 large Egg 2 tsp. Vanilla extract Frosting: 1/2 C Nonfat Milk powder 1 1/2 sticks of Butter, softened 1 C Powdered Sugar 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract (don't over measure or it will tast...
