GAPS legal blueberry muffins that rock my world

My mother in law is the amalgamation of June Cleaver and Martha Stewart; a pastry chef and Lutheran pastors wife. My husband grew up with warm German potato salad with bacon grease and sugar, fresh pesto stocked in the perfectly organized freezer and always from-scratch doughs and confectioneries. Need I describe his displeasure with a grain free/sugar free/starch free household?

Unfortunately for him, I put him on a yeast free diet in an attempt to get rid of this Candida once and for all. (Hint: withhold sex. It's a fantastic motivator.) In general, he can't stand anything that's made with coconut or almond flours, but he chokes it down because its the closest damn thing in the house to his beloved mother's recipes. I make these paleo-goodies for the kids, too, as my older daughter seems to be as sensitive as I am to carbs. I usually don't eat them as the recipes typically call for fruit and/or honey sweeteners. But I make them for everyone else, with mixed reviews. Until tonight.

Tonight I made blueberry muffins with a banana sweetener. Rave reviews! Hubby even said, shoving his fourth mini muffin slathered in butter down his gullet, that it was hands down the best paleo/GAPS recipe I've made. Finally! A winner!! I adapted it from Multiply Delicious. I tried it with some butter, too, and sort of freaked out and ate like five. Now I am bloated with indigestion and hate myself, but it might have been worth it. Here's what I did:

1 c. mashed banana (about 2 bananas)
2 t vanilla
3 eggs
1/4 c applesauce
1/2 c coconut flour
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t sea salt
1/4 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/4 c butter
1/2 - 3/4 c blueberries (I err on the side of more)

Preheat to 350.
Combine the first four ingredients.
Combine next 5 ingredients, mix well.
Add wet to dry.
Melt butter and mix in well.
Fold in blueberries.

Because coconut flour is so absorptive it will suck up all that moisture and you'll be like "uhhhh, lemme check that recipe again to see what I did wrong".   But don't!  It's right. You can line the muffin tin with muffin liners or did what I did and greased the muffin pan with coconut oil.  Multiply Delicious says that it makes about 11 muffins.  I found that it made about 23 mini muffins.  You could probably add a few more blueberries to make up the difference.  Either way, you'll have to dollop the muffin mix into the pan.  My min muffins took about 24 minutes, I think the larger ones take closer to 30-35.  Just keep checking them and take them out when they spring back or a toothpick comes out clean.

Then you should let them cool in the pan on a wire rack.  Then, after about 5-10 minutes, pick one out and cut it in half.  Slather that baby in grass fed butter.  Freak out.  Repeat.
