Day 2. Recipe 2.

Let's be honest. This muffin recipe is not going to free anyone's energy. These muffins, however, could be considered magical because they contain a decent amount of protein, no grains, no refined sugar and have some vegetables thrown in for good measure. Oh, and they taste, pretty good.

One learning from this recipe is coconut flour is weirdly absorbent. If a recipe calls for regular grain flour, a lot less coconut flour is needed to make the recipe. It isn't a 1:1 exchange.

The taste and texture verdict is still pending on this culinary beauties, but if a healthy breakfast option is required, this muffin recipe rises to the task.
