Here is a 'paleo-diet' version of Christmas cake muffins. My trainer Joe would be oh-so happy to know I'm making these, even though I'm doing plenty of naughty eating and drinking this Christmas - it's been a great year.
Cheeky thing I'm doing with this recipe is I'm soaking the fruit in a little brandy, it is Christmas after all :)
INGREDIENTS
4 Tbsp butter, melted
1/3 cup honey
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup unsweetened crushed pineapple
1-1/2 cups almond flour (I used coconut flour as I could not get almond flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (NOT baking powder)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried currants
3/4 cup dates or pitted prunes, chopped
1-1/2 cups sliced blanched almonds
1 cup chopped walnuts
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat your oven to 135 degrees celcius.
2. Line muffin pans with paper cupcake liners.
3. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well.
4. Fill each cupcake liner almost full with batter.
5. Bake for 45 minutes.
6. Allow to cool before removing the paper liners.
