Thank you for the congrats! I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that there is another little heart and soul beating and growing, being fearfully formed in my womb. cray cray.
today i want to share a favorite grain free treat in our home. (i can't remember if i've shared it here before.... baby brain!) It even has veggies which we are always trying to get in:)
We call them coconut carrot muffins and that way we don't feel bad for eating them at breakfast, lunch & dinner.
They are fluffy and delicious and full of yummy pastured eggs so they fit the bill for a nourishing pregnant snack.
They never last more than a day and a half in our house because Emmy will climb, scale and leap across any bounds or barriers to get to them:) They are perfect with a mug of raw goat's milk.
with out further ado:
Ingredients:
6 eggs
1/2 c coconut oil, melted
1/2 c raw honey
2 TB high quality vanilla
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c coconut flour
2 c organic carrots, shredded
1/2 c organic raisins or dried cranberries, optional
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with liners, or grease with coconut oil. Combine the eggs, coconut oil, honey and vanilla in a large bowl or in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add in the salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Sprinkle the coconut flour over the mixture and then whisk into the batter. Mix well so that there aren’t any clumps. Fold in the shredded carrots and raisins or cranberries. Use an ice cream scoop to divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. YUM!
we don't usually have raisins or cranberries on hand to include but they are still amazing, and as *truly raw honey can be quite expensive (though worth it!) we generally use closer to 1/4 c.
this recipe isn't original to me, i found it somewhere on the interwebs and place no claim on it- although it will definitely be going into a family cookbook that is to be passed from generation to generation- relearning the art of nourishing real foods that can bring our family real health from the inside out! Really excited for a family heritage of figuring out how God designed our bodies to function and thrive with food!
Let me know if you try and love this recipe as much as we do:)

Great post!!! Looks delish! Where do you get your coconut flour??
Hey Wendy! thank you! at the moment we just use Bob's Red Mill coconut flour but i am looking into ordering larger amounts online- to be cost effective and get a little bit higher quality:)
Hey! I am glad you posted this today...do you have a good recipe that uses bananas and applesauce? Bananas are super cheap here and I've been trying to find a basic recipe for a muffin using *starting to brown* bananas...we don't have access to most the natural foods you like to use, but I think there are some sort of oats or flour or something. Eggs aren't horribly expensive, but it would be good to find something that uses only a few. How's that for a lengthy list of wants/needs. (O: Love ya friend!
