Gluten Free – Dairy Free Muffins

April 5, 2011 by Laura 214 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share some commission.

I think this is the recipe I’m most excited about from all my gluten free recipe experimenting last week!!! Cher left this recipe in the comments section in my Gluten Free Experiment post and since I had all the ingredients on hand, I gave them a try. (Cher, I’d like to give you a BIG hug!!!)

Coconut_Flour_Muffin

Upon first glance, it seems that there would be too much liquid in these, making for a really runny batter. But nope…it’s just right. I mixed them up, baked them, then held my breath:  Would my kids like them? They smelled good…they looked good…but would they taste good?

Oh. My. Muffin.

EVERY boy in my house scarfed these up…my pickiest son exclaiming, “Mom! These taste like CAKE!”

It’s only been a week, but I think I’ve made three batches of these already. We all love them.

Author: Laura
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • 6 eggs
  • 4 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup Coconut Flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Add-In Ideas:
  • ¼ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup fresh berries
  • ¼ cup chopped, dried fruit
Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients together, throw in an add-in if you'd like, then pour batter into a well greased muffin pan.
  2. Bake at 350 for 15-17 min.

By themselves, these muffins are awesome…but with chocolate chips. Oh my!

With both Coconut Oil and Coconut Flour in these, you would think they would have an overpowering coconut flavor. You can taste a bit of coconuty-goodness, but it’s not strong. Read this post explaining about the differences in coconut oils – try expeller pressed coconut oil if you don’t like the taste of coconut!

So where can you get Coconut Flour? I usually get mine from Tropical Traditions, but just saw this great pack of Coconut Flour at Amazon and decided to snatch it up. I think we’ll be making a lot of these muffins in the future…whether we remain gluten free or not. What an EXCELLENT little healthy muffin!!!

Have you ever baked with Coconut Flour? I’m hoping to figure out more Coconut Flour recipes. It’s super good for you! What add-in ideas can you think of for these muffins?

    I made buttermilk pancakes with half coconut flour the other day…turned out pretty good, I thought…I think I may try these in the morning…with carob chips…or white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts…

    Those sound wonderful, but I don’t have coconut flour. Since I don’t have to worry about gluten, is it possible it would work with white or wheat flour? Do you think the ratio would be 1:1?

    Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe! (Thanks, Cher!)

    • Laura says

      April 5, 2011 at 8:54 pm

      I don’t think substituting wheat flour one for one would work for these. Coconut flour makes for a thicker (for lack of a better word) batter. IF you were to try this with wheat flour, I’d add more than the called for 1/2 cup of flour.

    Oh, wow…the pics of these look so good! I want to try this recipe out! I’ve never used coconut flour…but I’m thinking I just may have to get some for these:) I wonder how
    many carbs are in coconut flour? We were grain-free for a month on The Maker’s Diet, & my hubby is trying to stay pretty low-carb(but lots of veggies, fruit, healthy fats, organic milk & dairy, etc.) until he reaches his weight loss goals. I would love to find him a lower carb treat/baked good!

    • Laura says

      April 5, 2011 at 9:27 pm

      Here’s the nutritional facts found at Tropical Traditions. It looks like maybe it is high in carbs (although I don’t know high from low where carbs are concerned). But, since coconut flour isn’t made from a grain, this may work on your diet!

      April 6, 2011 at 12:01 am

      I think coconut flour is considered very low carb. Especially since it
      is high in fiber and you use a pretty small amount in recipes.

    These really look yummy. I have something called coconut milk powder. Is that the same thing as coconut flour? Also, do you think maple syrup would work in place of the honey? I just printed the recipe, and plan to try it soon!

    • Laura says

      April 5, 2011 at 9:29 pm

      Coconut milk powder is different from coconut flour, so I’m not sure how that would work. I do think maple syrup would work in place of honey.

    These do look yummy! I got 2 dozen free range eggs for $1.59 each and wasn’t sure how to use them all. This will surely help! Just have to find some coconut flour.

    Have you noticed any improvements with Malachi’s eczema? I know before you said it wasn’t getting better but it wasn’t getting worse either so I was curious now that you are further into the experiment.

      Unfortunately, there’s been no improvement still (2 1/2 weeks into it). Not sure what to think, but we’re not discouraged yet. We’ve heard it takes at least 6 weeks to see a difference. Taking him to our awesome chiropractor today to discuss more options and do some more looking into allergies and such. Thanks for asking!

    I just tried these the other day and they were amazing. The recipe calls for almond flour; I used brown rice flour b/c it’s what I had.

    Cinnamon Bun Muffins

    Topping:
    2 Tbsp. honey
    1 Tbsp. cinnamon
    1 Tbsp. melted coconut oil or butter

    Muffins:
    1 cup blanced almond flour
    2 Tbsp. coconut flour
    1/2 tsp. baking soda
    1/4 tsp. sea salt
    1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
    1/4 cup honey
    3 eggs
    1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

    Mix topping. Set aside.

    Combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl blend together oil, honey, eggs and vanilla. Blend dry ingredients into wet and scoop a scant ¼ cup* at a time into lined muffin cups. Spoon topping onto muffins. Bake muffins for 8-12 minutes at 350.

    I saw the recipe on this blog http://voogtrecipes.blogspot.com/2011/04/cinnamon-bun-muffins-grain-free-dairy.html

    I think we are living parallel lives! Thank you for the gluten-free recipes! I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of 4 kiddos as well. I even have an Elias! Any my youngest (2 yo) has suffered with eczema since a baby. It started out mild (bumpy and dry), but then started flaring up when she had soy(?). In the past 6 months her skin has started cracking and oozing in the creases (behind her ear, eyelid, inner elbow, behind the knee). Poor baby! The last 10 days I’ve cut out gluten, dairy, soy and coconut (seems like she gets real red when I substitute coconut oil for butter) and am starting to see some improvements. We’re going to visit a chiropractor tomorrow that uses muscle response to test for allergies. I hope that sheds some light on things… I love your blog and have used several of your recipes!

      Almost all the soy in the US is genetically modified (cloned). GM foods cause allergies, eczema, asthma, and a whole host of other problems (organ damage, infertility, etc.) so if she reacts to soy, maybe it’s because it’s genetically modified. My children had eczema and food allergies until we switched to a gmo-free diet. Not the eczema and allergies are COMPLETELY gone!

    Our favourite variation is adding an orange. I put the whole orange in the blender and mix all the ingredients in there. Actually, that’s how I usually mix with coconut flour because it’s so runny and pours easily. Probably cut back on the oil (you can use melted butter or cream, too) a bit because of the extra juice in the orange.

      Also, milk or even water could be substituted for the cream.

      And as for breakfast recipes, we do smoothies in the blender every single morning and my picky kids have yet to tire of them. I just throw some fruit, yogurt, green tea, and ice cubes in the blender.

      Coconut flour is EXTREMELY dry. That’s why so many eggs are needed. There would be way too much liquid for a grain-based flour. Have you tried Amazon.com for coconut flour? I know they have it there and will ship to practically anywhere. Shipping is free and you get a 15% discount if you use the subscribe n save option.

      April 21, 2011 at 9:31 am

      To solve that problem, you an scoop the batter into the muffin pan, then sprinkle chocolate chips on top of each muffin (before baking). While they bake, they’ll melt down into the muffin a little bit, but won’t go all the way to the bottom.

        Adding a little extra baking powder might help to keep the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom. According to this article on quick breads: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/tips/quick-bread-primer.html. Basically it is recommended to add and extra 1/2 tsp baking powder per cup of flour if you are using add ins like chocolate chips. Coconut flour is different than regular flour though so it may take some experimentation.

    I had just bought some coconut flour and was so excited to try these! However, they came out awful. They took way longer to bake than the 15-17 minutes, and they tasted very egg-y. The chocolate chips all sank to the bottom too. Any thoughts on what went so wrong for me? I don’t want to be negative, and really would like to try these again. I thought they seemed very wet; maybe I need to add more flour?

      I’m sorry these didn’t turn out well for you. :( I’m surprised they tasted so egg-y for you…ours usually taste pretty sweet because of the honey. You could try adding more flour, but not too much because it is such a dry flour.

      To avoid the chocolate chip issue, I now sprinkle them on top of each muffin after I’ve scooped the dough into muffin tins. That seems to help keep them from going all the way down.

      Hope they turn out better next time!

      mine turned out horrible too. I was really hoping for it to be good. The tops turned out really yummy, but the body of the muffin felt like fried egg. It was really rubbery, almost like the eggs fried before the mix had a chance to cook. I think the quality of my muffin tin is to blame. The flavor was good, just the texture was all wrong. I had to sub butter for the coconut oil, so maybe that had a part in it also. I’m gonna keep playing with this though!

        One of the easiest ways I’ve found to mix this batter is to do it in the blender. My first batch I did by hand and had trouble getting all the coconut flour mixed in. Maybe that would help with your texture issue? Also, I have had WONDERFUL results using Le Creuset silicone baking cups…they have replaced my old muffin tin completely :)

        My big problem still with these muffins is that the tops end up kind of gooey (?)…like they seem very wet and sticky…not sure the problem, but they still disappear quickly in our house :)

He also has a dairy and soy allergy, too. Any change I could half the egg amount and use coconut yogurt or rice milk instead?

      Eggs provide most of the “rise” of this recipe (and most baking recipes) with coconut flour because coconut flour lacks the gluten that gives other muffin and quick bread recipes structure. Egg replacer like ground flax and water would not work well for this recipe. You would be better off just giving this recipe a miss and using other gluten-free recipes.

      I just picked up an interesting book at the library called SPECIAL DIET SOLUTIONS:Healthy cooking without wheat, gluten, dairy eggs yeast or refined sugar by Carol Fenster, phD. Not all the recipes are are free of all those ingredients, but she has options for eggs and dairy and sugars are much reduced.

    two thumbs up – these were great with the chocolate chips. I only made half a batch because I was skeptical and didn’t want to waste our eggs, but now I wish I had made more. I love that the kids are getting 1/2 egg in each muffin for protein too. The only problem I had was with the chocolate chips. I sprinkled them on top as you suggested, but mine didn’t sink at all. As a result, my daughter just ate the tops off of the muffins. =) Maybe next time I’ll mix some in and put some on top. Thanks for the recipe. We are not GF, but these are easy and healthy.

On the other hand, these are so nutritious, it would be nice to find a substitute for the eggs. Maybe someone else will pipe in with an idea!

We have tried lots of coconut flour cake recipes for special occasions since being grain-free and they always turn out dense and bland. These are moist and relatively light and just delicious! We love the Enjoy Life Soy-free, dairy-free and Nut free mini chocolate chips in them. I wanted to let you know that I have used this recipe, but added a heaping cup of fresh pumpkin puree, a heaping tablespoon of cinnamon and about a teaspoon of nutmeg and ended up with the most delicious, moist and healthy pumpkin muffins ever! If you love pumpkin, you have got to try this! SOOOO good!

      Yes, coconut flour is low in carbs, so a great choice! I would also think that honey would be a good choice since there are good nutrients and enzymes there.

    These were awesome!!! Great taste and texture, I did use a blender and the baking time was perfect. I did half frozen blueberries and half of them chocolate chip but I am going to try and make them savory next time:)

    Laura,
    I wanted to happily write to you about this recipe because I was so skeptical about it. You made the muffins sound so delicious that I had to try to bake a batch myself, even though I had so many flops with coconut flour. I just have to say they really are great! I loved baking with wheat but on a low carb diet it brought TOM out earlier so I had to give it up. Then I basically lost a bag of coconut flour through trying various recipes that just didn’t turn out. But I have to say, these muffins taste great and can easily replace morning pancakes for me! This recipe was a godsend as I reverted back to good ole’ white flour which increased my carbs and hunger drive.

    Side note: One can also use vanilla extract or coconut extract to reduce egg taste.

    Thanks again, Laura!

    These were great!! What are you all greasing your muffin pans with though? I used butter and it browned somewhat on the edges and bottoms. Thanks.

    I’ve been making these for a long time now, but had forgotten about them! Saw them on your menu this week and decided to revive them in our home! Boy was my family happy with me! We LOVE them, and just like in your home they just seem to disappear! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

    I made a batch of these today and they just turned out soak. I had to bake them a lot longer than the recipe called for….about 28 minutes. This is my first time using coconut flour. I thought that the taste was pretty good although the muffins were kind of crumbly and egg-like. Both of my kids tried them and didn’t like them which surprised me because they are good eaters. I’m not sure if I will try to make these again. They looked nothing like your picture. I just moved to a high altitude area though and have had other things not turn out quite right…..so it might be my fault! :)

    Tried these this morning and they were great! This was my first time using coconut flour. I did use the blender and I cooked them for 17 min. Thanks Laura!

    Hi,my two year old is gluten free and I wanted to make these for his birthday party. If I use gluten free flour instead of coconut flour,how many eggs should I use.
    Thanks for your help and for a delicious recipe.

      Hmm, not sure this recipe would work very well with regular gf flour. You may do better with a “regular” recipe substituting GF flour for the wheat flour?

      I know this response is late, but if you are GF flour, you substitute it as you would regular all-purpose flour. Like Laura said, you’d do better using a regular recipe if you plan to use the GF flour.

    What brand of coconut flour do you use? Could
    that be the reason for some of the failures?

    Quaker oats once had a wonderful recipe for oat bran muffins. Their product is no longer available. Do you have an gluten free oat bran recipe?

    These are my go-to grain-free muffins. We have tried them a million different ways and they are always great! Today we tried them with strawberry puree and coconut milk swirled in. They were delightful!

    I can’t have honey. I use Stevia in the raw. Could it be used instead of honey? And do you know how much? Thanks can’t wait to try these!

      Not sure off the top of my head as I’ve never subbed stevia for these. It’s sure worth a try though!

    The flavor in these is great but your muffins Laura look like muffins, my just look like lumpy cooked batter. Why? I even tried the tip one person gave with the brownies to separate the egg whites, whip and add last.

      I am not sure why they would be lumpy…Sometimes coconut flour can be difficult to get all mixed in. I wonder also if it has to do with the temperature of the coconut oil. Is it possible that it separated from the batter and that caused lumps? I am glad it tasted great anyway! :)

    These are in the oven right now! I had a few resistant lumps also and I decided to let my batter stand for about 5 minutes while I cleaned up the dishes and found that the lumps were then easier to mix in. I also used Kerrygold butter as my coconut oil jar was empty (oh, it’s a sad day).

    Hoping my boys like these as much as yours do!

    Wow! These are the best gluten and dairy free muffins I’ve ever baked!!! Everyone who tastes them likes them. :-) I love that I can customize these muffins – one favorite is topping each muffin cup batter with blueberries right before baking. And for Mother’s Day, we had to have a gluten, diary and processed sugar free dessert – so we made these muffins as is (plain) for our cupcakes.

      (wasn’t finished yet ;-)) After baking the “cupcakes”, we topped each one with mixed berries and whipped coconut cream, it was an awesome dessert!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!!

    Been looking for some coconut flour recipes…have 2 bags I purchased thinking I could use it just like regular flour and I don’t think so…..haven’t used it yet….have a question…why (6) eggs for this recipe ? It does seem like a lot….when you usually only use one or two for 12 muffins ? Just curious…..
    Does the coconut flour need to be sifted ? wonder why a couple of people ended up with lumpy batter ?

    Thanks,

      The 6 eggs is because the coconut flour is much dryer than wheat flour. I don’t sift mine.

    These look wonderful, but I need to avoid all sweeteners. If I left out the honey, would I need to reduce the coconut flour? Thanks!

      Yes, you would need to reduce the coconut flour by 2-3 T – just a guess!

      I’d probably use 40 drops of liquid stevia for these. :)
