I felt guilty today because I hadn’t made up a recipe for almost a week. I’ve made two recipes from other blogs in the past week for my Mom’s birthday, however. One of them, some delicious grain-free gluten-free dairy-free almond flour muffins. I’ll be making them again since my Mom doesn’t eat grains or dairy. I got that recipe from The Roost Blog. You should look it up…It’s a beautiful blog.
I also made a chocolate avocado mousse. Which was less of a success, because everybody could still taste the avocado despite all the honey and cocoa. It was still okay, it just wasn’t extremely good. It was strange enough that after three big bites everybody was eating way slower.
Anyway, both those recipes were from other sites, so I figured it was high time I posted another recipe. So here it is. Cinnamon Nut Muffins. I’m eating one right now.
There isn’t that much to be said, so I might as well get to the point.
It’s good.

Book! Book! Book! I love your recipes…
I made these this morning for breakfast. They are awesome! I used pecans and dates…and part almond flour because I didn’t have enough rice flour…and Erythritol instead of brown sugar…and added vanilla to the wet ingredients. The use of cornstarch is brilliant. They came out light and delicious. Thank you so much for this. I’ll be trying more of your recipes.
Glad you liked them, Tamara!
