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.

Sourdough Discard Chocolate Cake

I've made sourdough bread for years but recently started branching out and trying different things with my discard. I had made apple cheddar muffins with sourdough discard probably about 15 years ago, sourdough waffles like the ones I had tried in Las Vegas, but never really added it to anything else outside of bread products. I tried Chocolate Chip Cookies a while back with good results so it seemed natural to try a chocolate cake recipe. I tend to make my baked goods less sweet so I adapted a recipe I found to suit our tastes and topped it with a lightly sweetened peanut butter drizzle. This cake was moist and perfectly sweet. Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup cocoa powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup oil 1/2 cup sourdough discard 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 cup milk of choice 1/2 cup hot, fresh and strong brewed coffee Preheat oven to 350° and grease a bundt pan, set aside. In a large ...
