Grain Free Cinnamon Walnut Chocolate Muffins

One of the things you guys asked for was more GRAIN FREE recipes. So naturally my wheels started turning. Today I woke up craving cinnamon buns. The naughty kind from Cinnabon – which then prompted these CINNAMONEY WALNUTTY CHOCOLATEY muffins.

The way I create grain free recipes is by combining coconut flour and eggs. The reason I like this particular combination is because the egg-coconut flour yields a very light and airy muffin that isn’t weighed down by almond flour or anything else. Note, I have only made this recipe with this combo, so I have not tested any other grain free combos. Maybe I will in the future, but for now, I know what I like, so here it is.

One of the things you will find surprising is that to make 6 large muffins, you only need 1/2 cup of coconut flour. Again, the reason is because coconut flour is super absorbent – so no, it’s not a typo when you scan the recipe.
