Light coconut flour muffins with hints of cinnamon. Perfect for a quick snack.
Vanilla with cinnamon feels so Fall like:)
Fall is not my favorite season, summer is, but I’ll happily enjoy pumpkin, maple syrup flavors and cinnamon treats any day.
Since I’ve been experimenting a lot with coconut flour I have learned you need to make friends with eggs and use the properties of eggs to your advantage.
Eggs naturally act as a riser in baked goods.
Try making the same muffin with an egg replacer such as chia seeds and you’ll see the difference.
I found besides adding baking powder (baking soda makes it taste too salty), “fluffing” my egg whites was the key to a great dome top.
Please, don’t skip whipping those egg whites. Try doing this technique with any coconut flour recipe to get a fluffier texture.
