Zucchini Muffins

 6 medium eggs or 5 large

▢75 g / ⅔ cup coconut flour

▢125 g / 1 cup packed grated courgette/zucchini

▢75 ml / ⅓ cup coconut oil melted, or butter

▢50 g / ¼ cup granulated sweetener

▢1 ½ teaspoon baking powder

▢1 teaspoon cinnamon

▢¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg

▢1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius/350 Fahrenheit.

Grate the zucchini and melt your coconut oil in a pan or the microwave. If you do not want to see green specks in your muffins, peel the zucchini first. There is no need to squeeze any liquid out of the zucchini.

Beat the eggs with an electric mixer or in a food processor until pale and about double in size. This takes around 3 minutes.

Add all other ingredients except the zucchini and mix well.

Stir in the zucchini.

Line a muffin pan with paper cups and fill each cup with the dough.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top and a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Brownie Muffins

 I always make brownies in muffin pans. They are all crispy outside and chewy inside. Then we arent fighting over the corner pieces lol

I used 2 boxes of brownie mix to make 24 cupcake brownies. I add an extra egg. Spray the pans very well with nonstick spray and they'll pop right out using the tip of a butter knife. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from pans

Air Fryer Chickpeas

 One of the reasons I got an AF was to have healthier meals and snacks. I love a crunchy snack but hate all the empty calories and fat. I tried Roasted Chickpeas and am thrilled with the results! - updated: here is the recipe I followed: 

Drain 1 can of Chickpeas (no need to rinse) - put in bottom of basket in a single layer and put temp at 390 for 17 mins. 

Heat with nothing on them for 2 mins to dry them off. 

Spritz with oil (I used an olive oil spray and did a very light spray) - 

return to cooking and then at 5 minutes shake -

 then cook for another 5 mins and shake. 

For the last 2 mins that’s when you add your seasoning of choice (I used 1 tbs of ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper) - 

back in the AF for the last 2 mins. 

Lay out on a plate to cool. Can use more seasoning when you take them out. I saw Cajun, Cinnamon Sugar, Chili Seasoned - you could do practically anything that’s powdery. Hope you enjoy!
