I am all about finding ways to make keto friendly bread-like foods. These keto cinnamon roll muffins definitely hit the spot for me. This is definitely the recipe to go to for a low carb muffin fix! 

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder 32-34 grams per scoop
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup nut or seed butter 
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (can sub unsweetened applesauce) 
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil 
For the glaze 
  • 1/4 cup coconut butter
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice 
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sweetener of choice 
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a 12-count muffin tin with muffin liners; set aside. 
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients and mix well. Add your wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. 
  3. Evenly distribute the cinnamon roll muffin batter evenly amongst the muffin liners. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Check to see if they are done by inserting a toothpick in the middle. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done. Allow to cool. 
  4. Once the muffins are cooled, prepare your cinnamon roll glaze by combining all of the ingredients and mixing well. Drizzle over the muffin tops and allow them to firm up. 
  5. Enjoy!

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

Anthony Kiedis: Over 50 and Red Hot

Image
When Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers came on stage Sunday night the first thing that came to my mind was, "damn, he looks good". The second thing was, "I wonder how old he is". So obviously I went right to google and did some research. The information I found went above and beyond what I was expecting to learn. Anthony is 51 years old. He is a dad of a 5 year old boy who is named after his favorite band, his godfather was Sonny Bono, and he was voted sexiest male vegan by PETA. Because he seems so fit and healthy, it surprised me to learn that Anthony had actually been an avid drug user and heroin addict in the past. He even contracted the hepatitis C virus from his experimentation. He was addicted to some bad things, that were draining his life. These days instead of shooting heroin, Kiedis is addicted to things that are actually good for him. He focuses on his health, fitness, and family. Although I wasn't in as deep as Anthony, I
