Paleo Candida Muffins

 I love creating delicious grain-free and always gluten-free recipes that empower the body and do not have a load of unnecessary unhealthy carbohydrates. I am a diagnosed celiac with two of my three kids also diagnosed with CD and all my recipes are keen towards better nutrition. I have been working in this arena professionally for well over 10 years now!

I hope you enjoy this particular recipe. It is a hit at our table. I do suggest making extra and freezing some up. They freeze beautifully; just thaw and they taste just as good as fresh baked. These are very basic paleo muffins. Not sweet and can be eaten cold, warmed or toasted in the morning with a little melted butter or coconut oil. These are ideal to start out on when breaking the sugar habit. They’re great to take to restaurants too. I just pack them up in a baggy.
