Gluten-free Raspberry Lemon Muffins

I coach many clients who avoid grains for many reasons. Some are dealing with autoimmune diseases, some deal with celiac and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and some follow a keto or paleo diet where grains are few and far between.

Personally, I don’t avoid all grains, but I do feel a difference in my digestion when I eat – or don’t eat – gluten. I give the same advice when my clients want to avoid grains….”find your ingredient swaps”. What I mean by this is, when you eliminate specific ingredients, make sure you have some alternatives to replace them so you don’t feel deprived. For example, I swap out dairy for almond or coconut milk, wheat flour for almond, oat and coconut, if you avoid eggs then try flax eggs as an alternative, and I use honey, dates and maple syrup as natural sweeteners.

So, this recipe is for all of you who avoid gluten, or just like to experiment once in a while to see how your digestion reacts. The ingredients still offer protein, fibre, and lots of goodness. I like to play around with different additions in the muffin, like dairy-free chocolate chips, blueberries, and even a slice of banana on top. Try a few variations and report back. I want to know how you like them!
