Recently a dear family member was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. I immediately began my quest to further research and understand foods that trigger inflammation and foods that help decrease inflammation. Many types of fruits, grains and sugars increase inflammation. I have been creating many recipes that contain foods that promote a healthy immune system and do not trigger inflammation. Here is one of our favorites:
Pumpkin Muffins/Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup of pumpkin puree
- 1/8 cup of honey
- 4 organic free range eggs
- 2 cups of blanched almond flour / meal (see my recipe for how to make easy almond meal)
- 1/2 tsp celtic sea salt
- 1 tsp of baking soda
- 3/4 - 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp of cloves
Instructions
- 1. Put all wet ingredients (pumpkin, honey, and eggs) into a food processor and pulse for 2 minutes. Combine all dry ingredients into a bowl, mix together and then add the dry ingredients into the food processor where the wet ingredients are. Pulse for 1 min to combine the wet and dry ingredients.
- 2. Pour batter into greased (grease with coconut oil) muffin pans OR mini loaf pans Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 25 mins (check after 15 mins to see how done they are, since each oven and altitude has different baking times).
- 3. For a bit more sweetness, lightly spread a small amount of honey on the top of your muffin before eating. These are very low in sugar and taste delicious! Enjoy!!
