Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups almond flour for a grain-free base
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup for a refined sugar-free option
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter if not following dairy-free diet
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raisins preferably organic
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut optional, for added texture

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with coconut oil or use muffin liners.
  • In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully combined.
  • Gently fold in the raisins and shredded coconut (if using).
  • Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • To make these muffins sugar-free, use stevia or monk fruit sweetener in place of honey.
  • You can substitute the raisins with other dried fruits like cranberries, dates, or apricots.
  • If you want a fluffier texture, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to the dry ingredients.
  • For a nut-free version, try using sunflower seed flour instead of almond flour.
