Gluten-free, Vegan Muffin recipe designed for weight loss and building muscle
I ate these muffins exclusively for two days straight and lost 4 pounds. I know my weight fluctuates from day to day, but I hit a new low after two days. Just to make sure, I did it the next week and hit another low.
I designed the recipe to provide an excess of the amino acids necessary for weight loss and building muscle. The dark chocolate and vitamin C were added to lower cortisol levels.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups almond meal
1/2 pound strawberries
1/2 pint blueberries
2 medium sized bananas
1 tablespoon honey (replace with maple syrup for a vegan recipe)
5 grams dried seaweed
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 ounce baking square unsweetened dark chocolate
2 tablespoons almond butter
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon flax seed meal
I use a blender to dice all of the wet ingredients into a smoothie before adding them to the flour.
Dice strawberries and add honey. Let them set for a few minutes and then mash or chop with blender
Add blueberries and bananas chop with blender
Finely chop seaweed and add the the mix with the olive oil
Chop in blender
Melt chocolate in microwave for 90 seconds
Preheat oven to 425℉
Add chocolate and almond butter
At this point my blender doesn't mix the ingredients very well
Empty contents of the blender into a large mixing bowl
Add flax seed meal
Mix in almond meal
Fold in walnuts
Grease or line muffin pan
Add baking powder and mix
Spoon the mixture into the cups and put it in the oven quickly
Once in the oven, lower the heat to 275℉ for 45 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test
