I posted this on my Facebook page the other day:
“Saw a recipe for “Skinny Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins”.
Every time you see the word “skinny” in front of any recipe, advertisement, etc…consider it a warning for a low-calorie, short-term satisfaction, metabolic damaging offering.
Said recipe called for all-purpose flour, sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, strawberries, and chocolate chips… and ONE egg white, ONE!
Not only is this muffin too few calories, but the ratios are severely unbalanced. ZERO fat, high amounts of sugar, and VERY little protein pshh ONE egg white, get outta here).
The only “skinny” muffin recipe for me is one with coconut oil, grass-fed butter, WHOLE eggs, honey, and coconut flour!”
Thus inspiring THIS recipe that wasn’t even close to an adapted recipe since my recipe is FULL-FAT and amazing!
EATgredients:

- ½ cup coconut flour

4.) Fold in strawberries and mix. Fold in chocolate chips.
5.) Bake for 15 minutes. Enjoy warm!





Looks delish! Is there anything you can’t substitute for the tapioca flour ? Thank you!

I am making these now. 15 minutes did not seem like enough I added another 15. I did use frozen berries and silicone cups. Could this be the reason. The batter seemed stiff enough.
I agree with you! Skinny in fat, but still loaded with sugar (is that how they justify eating more than one?)- that’s just wrong! I’m bookmarking this recipe for when strawberries are in season!
