These muffins are incredibly soft, tender, and fluffy, perfect for a snack a couple for breakfast. I love heating one up in the microwave for 20 seconds and spreading a light laughing cow cheese on it. In this recipe, I used no flavoured protein powder however you vanilla and banana flavoured ones would be delicious as well.
This recipe uses coconut flour which I want to caution those first experimenting with this flour to be wary of recipes that call for more than 1/3 cup of coconut flour and just a normal amount of eggs, liquids, or other types of moisture (eg: yogurt, bananas, apple sauce etc...) because the coconut flour can and will turn a baked product in a dense hockey puck if there is not enough moisture in the batter.
Baking notes: I used Kamut flour in this recipe because it has a slightly sweet flavour, this allowed me to greatly cut down on the amount of stevia or other sweeteners used. Kamut flour is not gluten free although it is much easier to digest than regular wheat flour.
