Healthy Gingerbread Muffins
These healthy gingerbread muffins are a great, low-hassle snack for the holiday season. They are full of gingerbread flavor, but are gluten-free, dairy-free, and even have a collagen glaze.
Servings: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Flour
- ⅓ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil or oil of choice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Blackstrap Molasses
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Ground Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
For the Glaze
- 1 tablespoon Collagen
- ⅛ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or milk of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and lightly spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- Using a standing mixer or hand mixer, blend together the eggs, oil, honey, molasses, and vanilla until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the spices, flours, and baking soda.
- Add half the flour mixture to the liquid mixture and stir to combine. Then stir in the oil and remaining flour.
- Divide the mixture evenly among 12 muffin cavities. Bake 15 minutes at 350 F or until a toothpick can be inserted in the center clean.
- Cool the muffins on a wire baking rack. While the muffins cool, prepare the optional frosting by stirring the ingredients together. Drizzle the muffins with the frosting.
Notes
- Be sure to use room temperature eggs to avoid any clumps and ensure a smooth batter and fluffy muffins.
- Use a spoon to scoop out the flour and level it off instead of scooping it from the bag to ensure proper measurements. See my tutorial for measuring flours properly for baking for more tips for gluten-free baking!
- Whisk the dry ingredients together to avoid clumps of spices in your batter and muffins.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container up to 7 days or in the freezer 30 days.
