These Grain-Free Honey Almond Flour Muffins are a tasty and easy addition to your Specific Carbohydrate Diet‘™ (SCD Diet) recipe collection. The muffins just have a few ingredients and have the perfect soft texture without being too moist. The trick to getting almond flour muffins to not be “wet” is to have a combination of coconut flour and almond flour to make your grain-free flour mix. I like to use about 1/4 cup of coconut flour for every one cup of almond flour.

Some Almond Flour Muffin Tips

Making almond flour muffins differ slightly from making traditional muffins with regular flour. Here are a few tips to help you perfect your muffin baking process:

Unlike traditional muffins made with flour, almond flour muffins won’t get over mixed if the batter is stirred to combine the ingredients well.
Store muffins in an air-tight container with paper towels to absorb extra moisture as almond flour baked good tend to “sweat”
Serve cold or lightly toasted with butter and honey or jam for a delightful breakfast or snack.

Thus, grain-free honey almond muffins are a wonderful, healthy alternative for those following a Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) or simply for anyone looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake.
