There is just something about walking by a fresh bakery with the smell of sweet and savory options. Muffins, bagels, donuts…Yum, right?

It can be a challenge to cut this delicacy out, especially if the whole coffee and donut thing is a ritual for you or the donut break at the office is a daily thing. 

However, I am confident this Happy Gut grain-free muffin recipe will have you skipping the donut break with no problem. A protein-rich, dairy-free and gut-friendly recipe that you can make a staple!

I’ve left out all processed sugar (to keep the cravings at bay) and incorporated a few superfoods, like blueberries and raw honey. This recipe is also completely grain-free. Instead, it’s packed with fiber and easy-to-digest ingredients to heal your gut and make your mouth happy. 

Enjoy and keep a few in the freezer! Trust me, you’ll want some on hand.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease muffin tins with a bit of avocado oil.
