Gluten-Free Mug Muffins

These delicious, easy to make mug muffins or (“mug-fins” as we have been calling them) have been a huge hit at my house since I created this recipe.

My daughter wanted to start a “mug-fin” club right after having one and my husband (man of few words) reported that they were good and “tasted like a muffin”. Success!

My daughter loves them with chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life which are dairy and soy free). I like a “mug-fin” with blueberries and walnuts. They can also be made with coconut flour–just use two tablespoons instead of three.

Enjoy this healthy treat!

Ingredients:

• Three tablespoons almond flour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch salt
• Tablespoon (or less) maple syrup
• 1/2 banana
• Tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 egg
• Pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
• Chocolate chips, walnuts or blueberries

Steps:

• Smash banana and coconut oil with back of a fork until combined
• Add in almond flour, baking powder, salt, spices and maple syrup
• Stir in egg
• Add chocolate chips and walnuts
• Bake in ramekin 25 minutes @375
