Orange Spice Muffins (Grain Free)
These Orange Spice Muffins are bursting with flavor and are full of nutritious ingredients. They are also grain free and dairy free. I adapted them from a, “Trim Healthy Mama,” recipe for white muffins. I’ve adjusted the amounts of ingredients and also added orange zest and spies to make one yummy muffin. They are made with coconut flour which is loaded with natural fiber that aids digestion along with healthy fats. They are full of delicious cinnamon and cloves and cardamom and are made with either xylitol or raw honey so that they taste fabulous without the sugar overload of a regular muffin. Xylitol is a natural sweetener that is derived from hardwood trees. Unlike sugar, xylitol has been proven to have many positive benefits to dental health and is even been identified as a collagen builder! Watch for my upcoming article on the various natural sweeteners and their uses. Another great thing about this recipe is you make the batter in the food processor so there is only one bowl to clean!
