You guys…! I haven’t posted a recipe on Nutrition Nut in FOR-ever! I’m sure you’re just as aware of that as I am. In fact, the last recipe I shared – ironically – were those sweet summer Peach Coconut Almond Meal Muffins.
I like to keep a batch of muffins in my freezer for weekday breakfasts; since I was all I out, I whipped up a batch of autumn appropriate almond meal muffins between tackling the post-vacation laundry monster. Ever since discovering how easy it is to bake with almond meal – muffins in particular – I can’t go back to using whole wheat flour.
My recipe creation skills are a bit rusty, and my patience for food photography is meek, but I hope you enjoy the recipe nevertheless. It’s a healthy one folks. I haven’t succumbed to the sugar-laden holiday treat extravaganza quite yet.
Recipe Notes >> I used a skimpy two tablespoons of pure maple syrup. You could certainly add another tablespoon or two, and I presume honey would be a tasty substitute. Also, I’ve been boycotting canola/vegetable oil as much as possible in my baking and cooking, but you can use the oil of your choice (coconut oil would be a great option here).

Happy Friday!

These look great! I’m always on the lookout for a new gluten-free recipe. Thanks for sharing!
This weekend I am carving pumpkins for the very first time. I’m really excited!
FUN!
we all despise this word, but they look so moist! (in a good way!)
Indeed they are… and “light”, too!
These look delicious! I might be making them later today :) Can I sub whole wheat flour one-for-one with almond meal?
Good question — give it a shot, and let me know how it works :)
These. Look. So. Good. Definitely going to be making them this week for my roommates and I! We are muffin lovers and are constantly looking for healthy muffin recipes!
Can’t tell you’re losing your patience with photography, I think the pictures look great!
Thanks!
These look so good! I want to make a batch and eat them a little heated with almond butter as a snack!
Good thinking!
I’ve been so obsessed w/ muffins lately. They work so well freezing them and then taking them out the morning of. I’ll have to give this recipe a try!
This weekend I’m going to SF for din with my friend who is in town from Germany. She’s a flight attendant so it’s a quick visit. Then I’m off Saturday morning for a weekend girls getaway with my mom, cousin, and aunt to Monterey. Should be a fun one! Hope your mother daughter weekend is awesome.
Sounds like you have a fun weekend ahead of you — have a great time!
Those muffins sound so simple and incredibly moist! :) They just jumped to the top of my “to-bake” list! Thanks for sharing!
I love this recipe! They look delicious. Can’t beat Trader Joe’s almond meal!
