Ingredients

  • 2 cups 200g coconut flour
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup 120ml unsweetened applesauce (or mashed banana for extra sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup 60ml honey (or maple syrup for a more mild sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup 75g raisins (preferably soaked if you want to make them extra soft)
  • 1/4 cup 60ml coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/2 cup 120ml water (to adjust consistency

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your muffin tin with coconut oil or line it with paper cups to prevent sticking.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the coconut flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda, stirring until fully combined.
  • Gently fold in the raisins, ensuring they’re evenly spread through the batter. If you soak your raisins, they’ll add even more moisture to your muffins.
  • Add the melted coconut oil and water to the batter, mixing until it’s smooth and easy to scoop.
  • Portion the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup approximately two-thirds of the way. 
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. To check, press gently on the tops—they should spring back. You can also insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean, they’re done.
  • Allow the muffins to rest in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool fully. Enjoy your warm, delicious GAPS Raisin Muffins!

Notes

  • For juicy raisins, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the batter. This keeps them moist and evenly spread throughout the muffins.
  • Push a toothpick into the center of the muffin to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, they’re done. If it has batter, give them a few more minutes to bake.
  • Feel free to add your favorite GAPS-friendly extras, like nuts or shredded coconut.
