  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups almond flour (or coconut flour for a nut-free option)

  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)

  • 1/4 cup honey (or date syrup for a low-sugar option)

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or ghee (melted)

  • 1/2 cup raisins (unsweetened)

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

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

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

  5. Fold in Raisins: Gently fold the raisins into the batter.

  6. Portion the Batter: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.

  7. Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week.

  • Freezing: Wrap individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

  • Substitutions: For nut-free muffins, use coconut flour or sunflower seed flour. Adjust liquid ingredients as needed.

  • Flavor Variations: Add spices like nutmeg, ginger, or citrus zest for a unique twist.
