Coconut Flour Honey Muffins

Posted on | September 21, 2008 | 8 Comments

Thank heaven for coconut flour! All I can say is that this is a miracle flour for our family! It’s low carb and high in fiber and has that wonderful “bread-like” texture that we crave sometimes, without the gluten and carbs!

Many of you have asked me to share our Honey Muffin recipe. Instead of posting the recipe, I will direct you to it. Go here for a GREAT website on cooking with coconut flour. I’ll give credit where credit is due!

Also, if I haven’t mentioned it before, Bruce Fife’s _Cooking with Coconut Flour_ is a must have for low-carb, gluten-free, Gaps-friendly cooking! You can follow this link to order a copy for yourself:

    These sound great! Do you buy your coconut flour in bulk? Have you found it for a good price?

    I made these this morning–they were really yummy and eggy (due to three eggs for 1/2 batch!). Thanks for ideas on uses for coconut flour. I made some choco. chip cookies that weren’t too good, so I’m glad to find another recipe.

    KFM,

    I have not yet purchased CF in bulk, as I typically freeze it and don’t have enough room in my freezer for a big bag.

    I am considering purchasing a case from Bob’s Red Mill as I have a 50% off coupon to use there! Woo hoo!

    Betsy,

    Yes, we love the muffins! Try adding some shredded zucchini sometime. Totally yummy, especially slathered with almond butter!

    I’m so glad CF is taking off!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE coconut flour, own and use Bruce Fife’s cookbook, and highly recommend it, providing one can eat eggs. Just picked up a case of coconut flour this evening from Azure standard (they deliver to a co-op at a friend’s house). This is a terrific blog. So much more relevant to how I feed my family than most food sites.

    Hi Carrie-
    I found you through Nourishing Gourmet- I made the coconut muffins today- they didn’t turn out like your beautiful picture? What did you do to get your such a nice golden color? Mine where yellow- like the eggs or like a corn muffin. Any hints or tips you do to make your look so yummy?
    Thanks so much!
    Carly

    Last one- mine were also a very eggy consistency- almost like a frittata- very egg tasting too–hummm.
    Thanks!

    Hi Carly,

    Nice to have you here! Were you referring to the muffin picture posted on the “Breakfasts for Busy Moms” Post? If so, then those were actually almond flour muffins (I’ll post the recipe next week so check back :) . Those are really good, not eggy at all, and really form rather nicely.

    The coconut flour muffins can tend to be a bit eggy I suppose, but I guess I’ve just gotten so used to it that I don’t notice anymore! It is a transition!

    Another idea I like is Bruce Fife’s recipe for his Coconut Biscuits. They are more like scones, and are really quick to make. They use about the same ingredients as the muffins, but I find they taste less eggy and you don’t have to deal with muffin tins or muffin cups. If you get the book it has lots of other good recipes too. I will post the scones recipe in a future post as well!

    Thanks for your question, Carly!
