Jumbo Gingerbread Nut Muffin Recipe

At first glance, these tasty Gingerbread Nut muffins from the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox may not seem sufficient to stand alone as lunch, but once you try these jumbo-size, nut- and oil- rich muffins, you will appreciate how filling they are. And, because they are made with eggs, coconut oil, almonds, and other nuts and seeds, they are also very healthy. You can also add a schmear of cream cheese or a bit of unsweetened fruit butter for extra flavor. To fill out a lunch, add a chunk of cheese, some fresh berries or sliced fruit, or an avocado.

As with any Wheat Belly recipe in which one of our benign sweeteners is used, adjust the quantity of sweetener to your taste. The longer you are wheat- and grain-free, the more your perception of sweetness will be sharpened, making you more and more sensitive to less and less sweetener. While walnuts and pumpkin seeds are called for in this recipe to add crunch, you can substitute your choice of nut or seed, such as pecans, pistachios, or sunflower seeds.
