Coconut Flour Revisited - Orange Marmalade Muffins


So, I know I've talked about coconut flour before...but, if you are looking to eliminate grains - while wanting to hold on to quick breakfast options like muffins -this is the flour for you! Coconut Flour is easy to work with and pure fiber to boot, which makes it very filling...one regular muffin goes a long way! Check out my previous Coconut Flour posts for more details and recipes - just type coconut flour in the search tab and you will have it...

Today's offering, Orange Marmalade Muffins, was born this morning out of an overwhelming need to skip the standard whole grains we have been eating a lot of here lately. They turned out delicious -a fabulous compliment to our Onion, Mushroom and Spinach Omelets! Enjoy! I have been full of energy all morning - no sluggish slow down at all! These were definitely GREAT eats!
