Ingredients
1 1/2 cups organic blanched almond flour2 Tbsp. organic coconut flour4 Tbsp. (1/4 cup) organic golden flaxseed meal4 Tbsp. (1/4 cup) Ghiradelli cocoa powder2 scoops (will be 4 Tbsp.) Nutrilite protein powder1 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda4 packets Sweet-Leaf stevia (8 tsp. equiv)1/2 tsp. (organic) vanilla extract1/2 tsp. (organic) almond extract3/4 cup All-Whites2 large eggs
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 inch muffin pan heavily with cooking spray (will stick if not thoroughly sprayed).
My instructions are for hand-mixing, though a food processor might speed the prep.
Stir all dry ingredients together in bowl. Cut in solid coconut oil with fork until mixture is evenly mixed, looks like coarse meal.
Stir liquid ingredients (eggs, all-whites, extracts) together thoroughly in large measuring cup.
Add liquid to dry ingredients; stir until well blended. Divide into 12 muffin cups -- a scant 4 Tbsp. (about 3.7 Tbsp) per cup.
Bake at 350 degrees for barely 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and loosen muffins with case knife before tipping in cups to cool.
