Grain Free Easter Eats: Part One

Grain free grubbing, I swear.

I love holidays. All holidays - birthdays, Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, groundhogs day and on and on and on! Everyone should live life like one big celebration! And just because we're not eating grains is no reason not to be excited about celebrating this Easter Sunday. The Cheeks are here to show you some easy recipes over the next few days that are so delightful and delicious that even your holidays guest won't realize they're grain free!

First is a quick and simple moist muffin that's great for Easter breakfast or brunch...

Cinnamon Bun Muffins

Cinnamon topping:

2 tablespoons agave nectar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon grapeseed oil

Muffin:

1 1/2 cups almond flour/meal

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoons sea salt

1/4 cup grapeseed oil

1/4 cup agave nectar

3 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine almond flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl blend together oil, agave, eggs and vanilla. Blend dry ingredients into wet and scoop a ¼ cup at a time into lined muffin cups.

Make the cinnamon topping by combining agave, cinnamon and oil in a small bowl and drizzle the topping by spoonfuls on top of the muffins.

Bake muffins for 8-12 minutes until top is light brown. Cool muffins on rack.

Enjoy!
