Blueberry GAPS Muffins

We just made a batch of these and the wonderful aroma fills our apartment. These are so delicious, you barely realise you are on the Gut and Psychology Syndrome Diet. Based on the Zucchini Muffin recipe in Breaking the Vicious Cycle by Elaine Gottschall.

  • 2 c grated zucchini
  • 2 c ground almonds
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 c ghee or melted butter
  • 1/3 c honey (raw)
  • 2 t cinnamon
  • 1/2 t baking soda
  • couple of pinches of salt
  • A couple handfuls of frozen or fresh blueberries

Method:
Mix almond flour, zucchini, fat and honey. Add the eggs, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Mix very well. Add blueberries (or other fruit), but don’t add too many or the muffins will not hold together.

Bake in muffin tins filled 2/3 full for about 20 minutes in a 350 F (180 C) degree oven.

    I was told it was on the banned list.

      Thanks Jules, in the GAPS book it is on the not allowed list you are right. It is also fine to just leave the baking soda out of this recipe, it won’t make that much difference in the end. We do sort of a combination of the SCD and GAPS diet and haven’t found baking soda to be a problem. Also baking soda is a powerful anti-fungal so I also think it is a bit helpful to get small amounts of it in our food.
