Peanut Butter Grain Free Muffins SCD option gluten free dairy free

A friend of mine (thanks Maggie in Florida!) introduced me to a site (click here) she uses for recipes that are safe for her diabetic family needs. The site had some great ideas that can be incorporated into any healthy gluten free dairy free diet. In addition, many options can be easily made SCD (specific carbohydrate diet) safe as well as safe for an endometreosis diet. I started with this recipe, and tweaked it enough that I am going to post my own version below. I hope you enjoy checking out Maria's site as well as trying this muffin recipe for a low inflammation diet protein packed breakfast option or on the go snack.

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Cream together the following ingredients:

• 1/4 Cup coconut oil
• 1/4 Cup erythritol crystals (fine)
• 1/2 tsp stevia liquid
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 Cup natural organic peanut butter (For SCD safe version, use almond butter)
• 2 eggs (M-L)
• 1/4 - 1/2 Cup So Delicious Coconut Yogurt - Plain

Next, add in the following ingredients and mix together

• 1 Cup almond flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 Cup carob chips (Follow your own diet protocol for this portion, or omit. For SCD version, omit or use dried fruit.)

This makes 9 muffins and bakes for 17-20 minutes in a non convection oven. Let cool before eating, and enjoy! My daughter loved them and claimed the batch for breakfast food. 

Endometreosis and Diet

I am going to be doing some major research into the area of diet and endometreosis as well as diet to support the liver. This post is just a placeholder for blogs that I am marking to read. Feel free to add your favorite resources in the comment section!

As a nutrition educator, I know many of the "good for you" choices and low inflammation protocols already, but I am seeking to find out what is specifically advised to ward off years of ongoing endometreosis growth and pain.
