Learning as I go

In the last 5 years I have really taken to cooking. I didn't do much at first, some baking mostly. I have discovered it is a new passion of mine and felt that this would be a great way to share the many recipes that have come my way along with some originals of my own. In the last couple weeks we have started receiving CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) - local grown fruit and vegetables and boy have I had fun figuring out what all I can do with it. Ive been making and cooking things I never imagined I would. So if you have found a passion in cooking like I have you have come to the right place. I hope you enjoy!

Paleo Bran Muffins


Went to dinner the other night at Claim Jumpers and ordered the Salad bar, my boyfriend and I were reminiscing about the amazingly good Bran muffins you used to get with it. I got to thinking about finding a recipe to make Paleo friendly Bran Muffins and started my "Google" research. I came across 2 and decided to try the one here as it has less dates and calls for a banana, I had one I needed to use so it worked out. I have to say, they turned out really good. 

Ingredients: 

1/2 cup almond flour (meal)
1/2 cup flax meal
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp almond butter
3 eggs
3 dates, pitted
2 tbsp molasses( I Used Maple Syrup as a Substitute)
1/2 ripe banana
1/4 cup almond milk  
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts (chopped) (I used pecans as I am not a fan of walnuts)

Directions:

1. Blend almond butter, eggs, dates, molasses, banana and almond milk in a Blender and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl mix together almond flour, flax meal, coconut flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in wet mixture from your blender and fold in raisins and walnuts.

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
 
Love and Enjoy!
