This weekend we’ve been refurnishing the living room. We celebrated the result with muffins made on almond flour. David’s sister is a photographer (check out her website), she came by to give us some hints and tricks for improving our food photography. It ended up with her taking the pictures herself …

Blackberry & Blueberry Muffins
12 medium sized muffins

2oo g raw almonds
100 g shredded coconut
1 large ripe banana
3 organic eggs
4 tbsp coconut oil or melted organic butter
1/2 cup / 125 ml plain yogurt
10 fresh soft medjool-like dates, pitted
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract or ground vanilla
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch sea salt
2 handful of berries (we used blackberries and blueberries)

Preheat the oven to 400F / 200° C and line 12 muffin molds. Place the almonds in a food processor and pulse until you have a fine flour. Then add the rest of the ingredients (except the berries) and blend until well combined. Remove the knife-blades and add the berries, stir with a spoon to mix. Pour the batter into the muffin molds and bake for 12-15 minutes.
