Ingredients
- 4 egg large
- 2 egg large yolks
- 1/3 cup tahini paste
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup Plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract pure
- 1/2 cup coconut flour Sifted, 44 grams
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder 20 grams, unsweetened
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, tahini, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add the sifted coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder into the bowl and whisk until smooth and combined.
- Divide the batter between 10 muffin liners, filling about 3/4 of the way full. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes so that coconut flour can begin absorbing the liquid.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean, about 16-18 minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature in the pan, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- DEVOUR.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- I also thought these were really good with only ½ cup syrup. But taste testers thought they needed to be sweeter. You MUST use parchment paper liners or a silicon muffin tray to make these. If you use regular paper liners, a few little chunks of these muffins will stick to them due to there being no oil and a sticky sweetener. Store muffins in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, or freeze.
