Gluten Free Better Breakfast Muffins

this is a quick, easy breakfast muffin recipe that is low sugar, gluten free and has protein. make a double batch and freeze some for those days when you need a quick, but healthy breakfast. i like them with some almond butter and/or some fruit jam. they also make a healthy, balanced afternoon snack.

1 1/2 cup almond flour plus ( if this is too complicated for you just use 2 1/2 cup of almond flour. muffins will still have some protein as almond flour has more than wheat flour )
 1/2 cup almond meal
1/4 cup golden flaxseed meal
2  tbl. hemp protein powder or protein powder of your choice
1 1/2 tbl. shredded coconut (unsweetened)
________________________________________
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped walnuts or nut of your choice
1/4 cup raisins or other dried fruit
_______________________________
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

preheat oven to 350 degress.  line muffin pan with cup cake papers or lightly oil.  in a large bowl combine all the dry ingredients. stir. in a separate bowl lightly whisk the eggs then combine with the rest of the wet ingredients. pour into the dry ingredients and mix with a large spoon. drop by tablespoons into the pan. i usually get 10 muffins out of this recipe. bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. let cool on a rack . if freezing make sure that the muffins are cool before you wrap and store them.
