This week has been the “gifting” week! You know, your neighbors, family friends, clients, etc. all send you baskets full chocolate, coffee, cookies, bread, etc. We just so happened to get a lot of these….
They must know I really like nuts, like A LOT! Actually, they all know I am gluten intolerant so most other baked good are out of the picture, haha. Unless they are homemade of course. :)
So what's a girl to do with an abundance of mixed nuts? Well, back to the kitchen of course. I may not be the best BAKER like this girl, but at least I am resourceful!
Mixed Nuts GF MUFFINS
- 1/4 cup nuts (from mix)- I used some honey roasted vanilla peanuts
- 1/4 cup almond meal or flour (you can buy this or just finely grind up raw or roasted almonds in food processor)
- 2 tbsp coconut flour (or other flour of choice)
- cinnamon
- 1 tsp stevia or other sugar of choice
- 1 tsbp flaxseed
- 1/4 cup eggwhites
- 34 grams (1 serving) of vanilla protein powder (optional)
- dash of sea salt
- 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- couple tbsp of almond milk (optional)
Makes 6 muffins or 12 mini muffins.

Told ya I liked nuts!
Going along with my “nuts” theme. My bootcamp class asked for a Torture Tuesday workout today in order burn off some Holiday stress. I guess they really haven’t enjoyed the Holiday marathon, but they asked for it and I kindly EMBRACED that request! Lets just say we all felt a little nutty after. Not sure if it was the endorphin high or the burn in our legs that caused it, haha. I’m thinking I’ll post it later, but for now I’ll leave you with this……
What goes well with with nut muffins? JAM! My jams to go along with the nutty workout. Sorry I did not warn you about the corniness!

What a great idea! I love when I can use up ingredients I have on hand and come up with something yummy. I hope your having a great week!
you are a NUT ! ;) and I know this because I am also. :D
I have been waiting for the recipe for these... I feel like I really need a healthy option right now, and I LOVE nuts. I may try these with my favorite, cashews.
I'm off to look up these songs now. Basil just gave me a new iTunes gift card.
I love the muffin cups. So colorful and fun!
Best "gift basket" I received (and actually the only one) was a nice, big box of fruit from work. Tons of pears, apples, grapefruit, and oranges. The pears were/are delicious!
89 calories?!?! That is awesome! Nuts are the best....plain, baked into something, I love them all! Great tunes!! Hope you are having an amazing holiday!! Torture Tuesday ha! I love it!
Well I'm a nut too so I can't say anything ;-) Love the muffin idea. You're always so creative with your baking!
You are so cute with your JAMS! These muffins look delish and I think you win the award for being resourceful. I wish I could have attended your Torture Tuesday!
i'm nutty for nuts! i'm also just nutty right now too, so my comment might sound totally nuts. nutty muffins look nut-tastic! :) I just debated between using nut-tastic and nutter-ific. ;) love the recipe and can't wait to try it!
oooh how do you find those cupcake moulds? I have some in my cupboard but I am yet to use them!!!
I like nuts too and especially baking with them... and I can't even touch nut butter- I'm addicted if I get a spoonful... ;)
These muffins look GREAT!
Yum! Those muffins look good. I am going to bookmark this. :) I have some holiday roasted cashews just sitting around. I made cashew butter with them the other day. Nom!
this looks really good and I could actually eat some! thank you!!!
love the cups...
Too bad most of my nuts end up in butter form...otherwise I'd totally bake those! :)
Yes you are nuts, but so am I, so we're even ;-)
Those muffins look so good!! And PS. I LOVE the concept of "Torture Tuesday" - for me that entailed a snowy run with the hubs tonight which turned out to be awesome, albeit chilly and a little treacherous on the snowy sidewalks ;-)
Yummy!! Thanks for the recipe!!!!!!! We've recieved pecan brittle and sugar cookies, and I can't say that there has been anything that I really disliked! =D
i think every one is nuts during the holidays. especially today with the full moon ;) but yummy recipes. love the pics! they look so good. so far i really haven't done any serious baking. that'll likely change once i step foot into my mom's house HA!
those look so good!! Thanks for posting the nutrition stats, which are excellent! I will copy and paste this one and hopefully get to make them soon!
Hey you! I like those nutty muffins. It's good to find a GF recipe that doesn't have sugar in it. Jonathan's gone GF for health reasons, but he also can't have sugar (except for raw honey). I can totally make these for him!
Oh, and I thought I'd mention 2 things:
1) I am now the proud mother of a 2 day old kombucha mom.
2) Jonathan thinks those muffins on your header that I always tell you make me drool...look like MEAT! LOL! :) What's wrong with that boy?? hehe!
Wooohoooo I super love your muffin recipes!! :D I need honey roasted vanilla peanuts in my life!!
Mmmm, those muffins look DELICIOUS!
I love those silicone muffin cups- they are sooo pretty!
I like nuts too and those muffin stats look perfect!
How can you say you aren't good at baking?! Especially GF ! Awesome awesome :) I wanna take a torture Tuesday boot camp class now!!
I consider "nuts" a compliment :)
These look so great! I'm still working on egg-free grain-free for the husband (no almonds either), it is tricky!
I love your baking cups! Are they the resuable silicone kind? They are so bright and cheery.
At work people have been bringing in sweets all week (I may be guilty of it as well.) I am normally in the classroom all day, but on Monday sat in the office for six hours next to the table of sweets. My self-control went out the window and I gobbled down processed sugars and all sorts of badness all day.
Muffins look great! And, um, NUTS is a common word in my family, haha
I have all the ingredients for these in my house (got a gift box of nuts today). Gonna give these a go tomorrow.
I cant remember if ive already commented... hahah but LOVE THIS RECIPE GIRL! love how there are nuts in it! crunch factor! I need to find ALMOND meal! Girl- I hope these days leading up to Christmas are SUPER blessed for you!
mmmmmm Nuts! They don't call me Krazy for nothing ;-) Almond flour - I would have NEVER thought of that! You are a very wise one my friend ~
And duran duran? Hmmmm - I'm guessing your age now ;-)
