Ingredients
  

  • 1 large orange
  • 80 grams (3 tbsp) butter or coconut oil , melted
  • 6 large organic eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup full cream milk or coconut milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder ,aluminium free
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 175C (fan-forced oven).
  • Line a muffin tin with paper cases.
  • Remove the zest from the orange and then juice it. Finely dice the zest and set the orange juice aside for later.
  • Mix the butter or coconut oil, eggs, honey, milk, vanilla and orange zest together until well combined. Set aside 2 tbsp of zest for topping the muffins later.
  • In a separate bowl combine the coconut flour, baking powder and salt, making sure to break up any lumps in the coconut flour.
  • Gently fold the wet and dry mixtures together, being careful not too over-mix the ingredients.
  • Fill the muffin cases nearly to the top - they will not rise very much.
  • Bake the muffins for 20 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean and they are cooked through.
  • Spoon 1 tbsp of orange juice over each warm muffin and top with a little sprinkle of orange zest.
