French Breakfast Muffins

French Breakfast Muffins

*1/3 c. Melted butter, unrefined coconut oil or 1/2 butter & 1/2 unrefined coconut oil

*1/4- 1/2 c. Organic sugar

*1 Egg. or 1 Flax egg - 1 Tbsp. ground flax seed + 3 Tbsp. water. Let set until gelled. 

* 1 1/2 c. All-purpose flour

*1 1/2 tsp. Baking powder

* 1/2 tsp. Salt

* 1 tsp. Cinnamon + a pinch of clove

*1/2 c. Organic Milk

*Optional. Add chopped apples, fruit bits or nuts of your preference. 

Topping:

* 1/2 c. Organic sugar

* 1/2 c. Butter. melted

* 1 tsp. cinnamon

Mix together and re-heat in the microwave when needed.

Preheat oven to 350* F

In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir until combined, but still a bit lumpy. Don't over mix or they'll toughen up. 

Scoop batter into buttered/ oiled muffin tins. A spring loaded scoop works awesome for this. 

Sometimes I sprinkle mixed cinnamon & sugar onto the top of each before baking. 

Bake 10-15 mins until they turn golden. These don't bake up dark. 

Dip each muffin into the warmed topping mix or use is as a dip while eating, so yum.  ;)

These make tasty mini-muffin bites -on -the go. 

For larger muffins, I double or triple this recipe. 

Freeze these for a later snack.
