Baylor Approved Paleo Muffins

I must tell you, I shy away from Paleo treats unless someone else made them first & I get to taste.  Mainly because most of them taste like crap, and if I want a treat, well, it's because I want something that taste yummy!  Someone at the gym made these and they were delish!  I made them at home and Baylor loved them.  We've made with blueberries and with dark chocolate chips. And believe me when I say if they are Baylor approved, you must trust!  :) 

They are from one of my favorite blogs, PaleOMG.  


Simple Blueberry Muffins
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 8-10
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1 cup almond meal/almond flour
  • 3 eggs, whisked
  • ½ cup raw honey
  • ⅓ cup Unsweetended Shredded Coconut ( I did not use the coconut)
  • ⅓ cup  Coconut Oil, melted
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • pinch of cinnamon
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. If you’re good at baking, you’ll know to mix the dry then the wet ingredients then mix together, but I do all the ingredients together and it works out just fine.
  3. Place ingredients into 8-10 silicone muffin cups in a muffin tin. Or you can use muffin tin paper liners.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Just keep an eye on it, they will puff up and look adorable.
  5. Eat them and be happy. And be merry.

I'm Not Your Best Friend Anymore

This has been a familiar Adeline quote in our house the past couple of months.  If you do anything not to her liking, she's not your best friend anymore!  Well the other day at the dinner table, someone told her no (actually, I don't remember EXACTLY what was said, but I would presume it had something to do with being told no). She proceeded to get up from the dinner table, arms crossed, sat herself against the wall and said with the greatest of conviction, "I'm not your family anymore!"  Which caused everyone to roar with laughter.  I love to have a place to document these little moments :)
