btw, please post the recipe for the muffins

 

Ingredients

2 cups blanched almond flour

½ cup tapioca starch

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon sea salt

⅓ cup coconut palm sugar

¼ cup pastured butter, room temperature

1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

½ teaspoon pure almond extract

3 large eggs, room temperature

½ cup plain, unsweetened almond milk

1½ cup fresh blueberries (or 1 cup frozen)

sliced almonds for garnish (optional)

 

Instructions

PREP:

Set eggs and butter on counter and bring to room temperature before starting the recipe. Eggs should not feel cold and butter should be completely soft. This usually takes a couple of hours.

COOK:

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin pan with 10 (or 12 if you want them a bit smaller) muffin liners. Combine almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to to mix and crush any almond flour clumps until flour mixture is fine.

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin pan with 10 (or 12 if you want them a bit smaller) muffin liners. Combine almond flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to to mix and crush any almond flour clumps until flour mixture is fine.

Using a stand or hand mixer, beat palm sugar and butter together until well creamed, about 4 to 5 minutes on medium speed.

Add vanilla and almond extracts and eggs. Beat an additional 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed until well combined.

Pour flour mixture in and mix to combine.

Slowly add almond milk while mixing.

Turn off mixer and gently fold in fresh blueberries (see NOTES if using frozen).

Divide batter among muffin liners. Bang the bottom of the pan a couple times to make sure there are no air bubbles and muffin batter settles evenly.Top with a sprinkle of sliced almonds and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until tops are starting to brown and toothpick or cake tester comes out clean.

Allow to cool in muffin pan for 3 to 5 minutes then transfer to wire cooling rack and completely cool before serving.

 

Here the first one Steve. It's a. Bit full on but if you miss muffins it's worth a crack. I'll try and dig out the other one too.

2 1/2 cups almond flour

1 tablespoon cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups carrots, peeled and grated

1 large apple, peeled, cored and grated

1 cup shredded coconut

1 cup raisins

3 large eggs

2 tablespoons honey (optional)

1/2 cup coconut or olive oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a standard-sized muffin pan.

2. Combine almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add carrot, apple, coconut and raisins and combine well.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, honey, oil and vanilla extract together.

4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix very well. The batter will be very thick.

5. Spoon the batter out into muffin pan and place on upper or middle rack of your oven for 40-50 minutes.

6. When a toothpick inserted into the top of a muffin comes out clean, the muffins are done.

7. Cool muffins in the pan for 8-10 minutes and then remove to a rack to finish cooling.

 

Hers the other. The wife made these and they're surprisingly good. They taste like bran muffins.

No idea, never knew it existed. Would that be in the old church building?

[Andy Collins]

Don't think so, it was up a bit opposite side from the Market Gates sign. Can't remember what it's called sorry.

[Steve Bullman]

i'll look later as I need to go into town

[Andy Collins]

Butterworths in the Traverse Bury st edmunds may be worth a try.

I'm with you on the beef jerky.....but try and get the proper stuff if possible, not the supermarket crap. I went to the market the other day and bought some really great south african stuff. Its reasonably soft unlike the packaged stuff, and contains a lot of fatty bits...its lush.

 

As for wine....its not that bad for you....i haven't cut it out, will still have a couple of glasses of an evening, if not im not working the following day

 

The South african jerky is called Biltong - it's really good stuff, especially with a couple of pints of beer...oops.

[Steve Bullman]

Thats the stuff Paul
