Mini Lunchbox Muffins


Pre-schoolers often aren't allowed any nuts in their lunchboxes due to the high number of children who now suffer from nut allergies. Most paleo baking recipes use almond flour, which is a no-no for Jacinda's lunchbox, so these mini muffins are a good alternative for creche days. I keep them in the freezer and pop one in her lunchbox in the morning, being so small they defrost well before morning tea time rolls around.

Ingredients:
3 Eggs
3 Tbsp Butter
1/3 cup Coconut Milk
1/4 cup Coconut Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar

Method:
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius 
  2. Whisk the eggs
  3. Melt the butter. Use a little to grease the mini muffin tin, then mix the rest into the beaten eggs.
  4. Sift in the Coconut Flour, Baking Soda and Cream of Tartar and mix well.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the muffin tins and bake for approx 15mins or until golden.
Makes 12 Mini Muffins

P.S For variety, how about adding some dried fruit, blueberries or dark chocolate chips to the mix?
