Ingredients

  • 4 large Eggs
  • 2 large Egg Yolks
  • 1/3 cup Tahini Paste
  • 1/2 cup Pure Maple Syrup Plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Flour Sifted, 44 grams
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 20 grams
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon Baking Powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, tahini, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Add the sifted coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder into the bowl and whisk until smooth and combined.
  • Divide the batter between 10 muffin liners, filling about 3/4 of the way full. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes so that coconut flour can begin absorbing the liquid.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffin comes out clean, about 16-18 minutes.
  • Let cool to room temperature in the pan, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • DEVOUR.

Notes

I also thought these were really good with only ½ cup syrup. But taste testers thought they needed to be sweeter.
You MUST use parchment paper liners or a silicon muffin tray to make these. If you use regular paper liners, a few little chunks of these muffins will stick to them due to there being no oil and a sticky sweetener.
Store muffins in an air-tight container in the refrigerator, or freeze.
