Not too naughty paleo inspired muffins
ok, so I have been trying to stick to the Paleo train of thought for about 3 months now, or maybe more I lost track. I do miss baking though. I was getting so good at it too! So this is what prompted me to try and make these muffins.
I do indulge in grains and sugary things sometimes, but of course the less naughty one can be, the better hey. :) This is pretty important to me because I am trying to control a stomach condition I have with diet rather than prescribed meds. It's a shame wheat flour has such a bloody high inflammation factor - which is something I really need to avoid consuming on a daily basis.

So here's my recipe for berry and dark chocolate muffins with 57% of the flour replaced for almond flour and coconut flour. :)
Makes 12 muffins:
Heat the oven to 180 while you measure out the following:
-155g plain wheat flour
-120g almond flour (blanched)
-85g coconut flour (total flours are 360g - you can try changing the ratios of these three flours and see how you go!)
-2 eggs
-120g butter - melted
-120g sugar (you can out up to 180g/1 part sugar. But I wanted to keep this low)
-2 level teaspoons baking powder
-Pinch of salt
-120g mixed berries
-50g chocolate of your choosing. roughly chopped.
-360ml-400ml buttermilk (start with 360ml and if the batter feels a little think add some more buttermilk)
In one bowl:
Put all the dry ingredients
In another bowl:
The buttermilk, eggs and melted butter together and mixed until combined.
Pour the wet bowl contents into the dry and mix until combined.
Spoon half of the batter into the muffin cases.
Add berries and chocolate.
Spoon over more batter.
Bake for 30 mins.
Cool on wire rack and enjoy!
Tip for changes - these muffins were yummy, but because I reduced the sugar, some may prefer to use milk chocolate or add more sugar or honey. But personally, I really liked them and could eat them for breakfast every day!
