This raspberry flax and almond flour muffins recipe is perfect for breakfast, hot out of the toaster oven, smeared with butter and honey. I’ve been known to eat three at a time, then moan in delight. There is no flour or grains in these little nuggets of heartiness.

Instructions
Heat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a muffin pan with paper cupcake liners.
In a small pot, mix berries, water, and lemon juice. Simmer over medium-low heat until the berries have released their juice and the liquid has thickened up a bit, which should take about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep berries from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine almond flour, flax meal, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
In a large bowl, combine the berries, vanilla, honey, agave nectar, and eggs, whisking gently until well mixed. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring well. Fill baking cups about 2/3 full.
Slide the muffin tins into the oven, baking for 25 minutes, or until the tops are firm and just beginning to brown around the edges. Allow to cool 5 minutes before eating. Serve with fresh butter and more honey, if you like then extra sweet.
