Blackberry Paleo Muffins

 

So obviously, these gorgeous little muffins are NOT AIP compliant.

 

For those of you who can tolerate nuts, they're a great way to boost your intake of protein and fats, helping to keep you satiated.  However, nuts do contain physic acid - which can bind to minerals, including iron and zinc, reducing their absorption, so if you do consume them regularly, it's a good idea to soak them overnight in salty water and then rinse thoroughly in the morning.  There's no need to always dehydrate or slowly roast them afterwards, especially when you plan to use them straight away, however as I'm after almond flour, I roasted them low and slow, ready to mill in the blender.

 

Remember - when buying, try to always choose raw, unsalted and organic (if possible).
