Ingredients

  • cups almond flour (not almond meal)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • ¼ cup honey (or maple syrup)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mix-ins (such as shredded carrots and raisins, blueberries, diced strawberries, chocolate chips, diced cherries, or diced pear)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  • Add the almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Add the milk, butter, honey, eggs, and vanilla. Add any mix-ins. Stir to combine well.
  • Divide among prepared muffin pan, using ¼ cup batter in each.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out cleanly. Let cool in the pan.
  • Serve cooled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use almond flour, not almond meal. Almond flour is ground more finely and works better in this recipe.
  • Add 1 cup of a mix in to the batter, or do a mixed batch.
  • Almond flour can brown really easily if the oven is too hot or if you bake them too long. Set your timer on the lower end and try to avoid overbaking.
  • I let these cool in the muffin pan, at least most of the way, to ensure they hold together well. (There's no harm in letting them sit in the tin as they cool and firm up.)
  • Avoid honey for babies under age 1.
  • Dairy-free: Use nondairy milk and melted coconut oil for the butter.
  • Egg-free: Use a store-bought egg-replacer like the one from Bob's Red Mill.
