4 Introduction I love a good nutrient dense muffin that can serve as an energizing breakfast, an on-the-go lunch, a no-fuss snack or a before-bed snack. Over the years I have amassed a collection of experimental recipes for muffin-type baked goods. Muffins are probably my favorite baked good to create, tinker with, and of course eat! I am presenting you with 12 muffin recipes that I particularly enjoy as a thank you for subscribing to my newsletter. I have provided a range of flours that you can choose to use in each recipe. I did not specifically include a gluten free baking mix but typically, you can substitute this on a one-to-one ratio with all-purpose flour. I do not advocate for the use of all-purchase flour. It is void of nutrients and can in fact cause health issues. However, I do realize that not everyone has made the switch to using an alternative flour. Therefore, I have included it in this ebook. If you choose to use almond flour, please make sure that it is indeed almond flour and NOT almond meal. These create two very difference textures, especially in baked good. Blanched almond flour has always been the most successful for me in baked goods. I also have noticed that different brands of almond flour can act differently in a recipe. You may need to add a tiny bit of additional almond flour to these recipes depending on the brand you use. If you use coconut flour in any of the recipes, you may need to adjust the amount of liquid and/or eggs. Because coconut flour is incredibly dense you want to make sure you are using 3 eggs per ½ cup of coconut flour and approximately ½ cup of liquid total. To make these recipes simpler, I did not increase liquids or eggs. If you use coconut flour in these recipes, please be sure to add additional eggs if necessary. Also, if you overcorrect with your additional liquids, you can easily add in additional coconut flour one tablespoon full at a time. Personally, I mix everything together as it is written in the recipe and then go back and make any ingredient adjustments. It always turns out better adding things in on the back end! Enjoy!
