Huevos a la Mexicana (GF)

By Kelly · 7 Comments


Spice up your breakfast Mexicana style!

A classic Mexican comfort food, Huevos a la Mexicana in its basic form is simply scrambled eggs with diced tomato, onion and jalapeños. Our favorite twist includes fresh chopped sautéed zucchini and spinach for added nutrition and flavor! Pair this delicious egg dish with a side of GF mixed berry muffins and some nitrate-free sausage links or turkey breakfast sausage patties for a healthy and tasty way to start the day!

Heat skillet over medium heat. When hot, add olive oil and diced zucchini. Saute zucchini until it begins to soften. Then add chopped spinach, pico de gallo and butter. Allow to simmer about two minutes.

Then add scrambled egg mixture. Sprinkle top with a few pinches of salt and ground pepper.

Using a large spatula, stir and turn egg scramble until cooked through (about 3-4 minutes). Serve immediately. Top with a dollop of cultured sour cream and additional pico de gallo, if desired.

Cinnamon Streusel Muffins (GF)

By Kelly · 65 Comments


Cinnamon-gooey goodness! Need I say more?

When I discovered this amazing recipe over at Comfy Belly, I knew it would be a family favorite! I simply adapted it by changing a couple of the measurements and by adding some pure vanilla extract to further enhance the sweet-cinnamony flavor.


All ready to go into the oven! Cinnamon lovers beware – you may want to make a double batch!

Cinnamon Streusel Muffins (GF)

Yield: 10

Cinnamon Streusel Muffins (GF)

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup plain coconut milk (or whole milk) yogurt
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Cinnamon Streusel Topping
  • 3 tbsp pure honey (I prefer sage honey due to its mild flavor)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp, plus 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Crispy walnut pieces (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 315 degrees. Place 10 parchment muffin liners in a 12-cup muffin tin; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla until well blended. Using a spoon, stir in the almond flour, baking soda and salt until well incorporated. Set batter aside. In a small bowl, add the streusel ingredients (except the nuts) and whisk together until well combined.
  3. Add a spoonful of the muffin batter to each of the lined muffin cups making sure to fill no more than 1/3 of the muffin liner. Using both hands, lift the muffin tin evenly tap the bottom on the counter to evenly distribute the batter in the bottom of the muffin cups.
  4. Then using a small spoon, place a dollop of the streusel in the center of each muffin. Next, place another spoonful of batter on top of the streusel layer, making sure to evenly distribute the remaining batter among all the muffin cups. If using nuts, top each muffin with nuts. Then, using a fork, evenly drizzle the remaining streusel over the top of each muffin. (You will end up with a little leftover streusel, see idea below on how to use it.)
  5. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then serve. Mmm! (Original recipe can be found at Comfy Belly.)

Notes

Want to liven-up your morning oatmeal? Then, make a double batch of this delectable streusel topping. Save the leftovers in an airtight container and store it in the frig for up to a week. Re-heat and drizzle it over your oatmeal and top with some crispy walnut pieces for an extra special treat! YUM!

Mixed Berry Muffins (GF)

By Kelly · 37 Comments


These grain-free muffins are so moist and delicious, I’ve often added a dollop of whipped cream to the top and called them dessert! For a special way to say “I Love U!” check out the picture below.


These adorable Strawberry Heart Muffins are a sweet way to show you care. Simply dice some fresh strawberries for placing in the center of the muffin, then top each muffin (prior to baking) with a fresh slice of strawberry cut in the shape of a heart as shown.

Mixed Berry Muffins (GF)

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt (or plain whole milk kefir)
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup (see *note below)
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • **Fresh strawberries and blueberries (fresh raspberries are also a delicious option!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 315 degrees. Place 10 paper liners in a 12-cup muffin tin; set aside. In a small bowl, add about 4-5 diced fresh strawberries and about a handful of whole fresh blueberries; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, maple syrup and vanilla until well blended. Using a spoon, stir in the almond flour, salt and baking soda until well incorporated.
  3. Add a spoonful of the muffin batter to each of the lined muffin cups making sure to fill no more than 1/3 of the muffin liner. Using both hands, lift the muffin tin evenly tap the bottom on the counter to evenly distribute the batter in the bottom of the muffin cups.
  4. Then, add a small amount of berries to each muffin cup. Next, place another spoonful of batter on top of the berries, making sure to evenly distribute the remaining batter among all the muffin cups. Finally, add a bit more fruit to the top of each muffin.
  5. Bake for approximately 26-30 minutes, until edges begin to turn a golden brown and a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for at least 5-10 minutes, then serve. Enjoy!

Notes

*Do not substitute the maple syrup with honey or your muffins will be dry and have over-browned bottoms. **Fresh fruit works best with this recipe, as frozen fruit tends to create an excess of moisture which can make for soggy muffins.
