by

Introduction

This GAPS raisin muffins recipe is a perfect snack or breakfast option for anyone on the GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) diet. These muffins are gluten-free, grain-free, and naturally sweetened, making them a delicious and healthy choice for the whole family.

Ingredients for GAPS Raisin Muffins Recipe

  • 2 cups (200g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (80g) raisins
  • 1/4 cup (30g) chopped walnuts (optional)

How to Make GAPS Raisin Muffins

1. Preheat Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with coconut oil.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to remove any lumps.

3. Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Create the Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the raisins and optional walnuts.

5. Fill the Muffin Tin

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

6. Bake the Muffins

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy these GAPS raisin muffins warm or at room temperature. Pair them with a cup of herbal tea or a glass of almond milk for a nutritious and satisfying snack.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure your almond flour and coconut flour are fresh for the best texture.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter until just combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
  • Raisin Options: Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes before adding them to make them extra plump and juicy.
  • Storage: Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.

 

Variations

  • Cinnamon Raisin Muffins: Add 1 tsp of ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients for a warm, spiced flavor.
  • Chocolate Chip Option: Replace raisins with unsweetened chocolate chips for a sweeter treat.
  • Berry Muffins: Substitute raisins with dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots for a fruity twist.
