Lemon, Raisin, Carrot and Banana Cupcake Muffins
*Grain Free *Gluten Free *Primal
I created this recipe one night when I was craving something sweet after dinner. I wanted to indulge a little but still have something nutritious. So I came up with these Cupcake Muffins. They clearly have an identity complex- and that’s fine by me. By using coconut palm sugar, these cupcake muffins are just sweet enough and are far lower in sugar, calories, and carbohydrates than commercial muffins and cupcakes. If you want to treat them like a cupcake, just add a little of your favorite frosting on top of each one. In the picture above, I added a dollop of coconut flavored yogurt on top. They are a dense and filling treat, pre-workout snack or grab and go breakfast for the week.
Recipe:
1 cup Almond Meal
3 Tbsp Tapioca Starch
1/4 cup Raisins
7 Grated Baby Carrots
2 Tbsp Melted Kerry Gold Butter
7 tsp Coconut Palm Sugar
2 Cage Free Eggs
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Banana
1 Tbsp Lemon Zest
Mix all ingredients together until smooth.
Scoop into greased muffin tin and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Makes 12 muffins

Primal Pacs- Paleo on the go!
I would like to start off my latest product recommendation by expressing my past frustrations with buying dried fruit. I have put countless packages of dried fruit items back on the shelf since becoming a “Clean-Mostly Paleo” eater. I would turn the package around only to find that they added sugar to the already super sweet fruit, or even oil and preservatives. Buying beef jerky would have been out of the question, because I had no trust in what the animal was fed and how it was processed. I questioned if it was ever meat to began with after reading the ingredient lists on popular beef jerky brands.
So that brings me to Primal Pacs. I am very excited to share these Primal goodie bags with you. That’s exactly what they are. Primal Pacs are a Gluten-Free, Preservative- Free, Grain- Free, Dairy-Free snack or pre/post workout fuel. If I have learned one thing from the Paleo/Primal lifestyle, it is that its devotees LOVE to eat. And most of them also follow a rigorous workout routine that is anything but typical. So it only seems natural that Primal Pacs would serve up 24 grams of protein, and that’s in one of their small pacs! To make Primal Pacs pack an even bigger nutritional punch, Most of that protein comes from the organic grass-fed beef jerky, which is unbelievably moist and flavorful. Grass-fed beef (full of Omega-3s and CLA) is a staple in any clean eaters diet, so it is nice to have a portable snack food that incorporates it. I will be taking them with me when I hit the trails hiking, stair climbing and mountain biking this summer. I found that they are great to combat the craving for something salty-sweet. The pacs are also filling without slowing you down and great for keeping blood sugar stable between meals. They even come in a convenient resealable pouch.
Luckily for us, we aren’t living in the Paleolithic Era anymore, so you can order Primal Pacs on your computer and have them sent to your doorstep! Click the Primal Pacs logo below and fuel up!
