<p>Light, airy-cakey, sweet (from honey and coconut flour)... These are so delicious I actually prefer them to my regular muffin recipes! &nbsp;With gluten-free baked goodies the textures can often be disappointing despite the product looking the part. &nbsp;But with this somewhat fluke recipe I can guarantee you won't be disappointed! &nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I was chatting with my step-father-in-law, who has type 2 diabetes, about sugar substitutes in cakes. &nbsp;Of course both he and I have experimented with natural sweeteners such as dates, which are great in biscuits, flapjacks, loaves, etc, but in cakes it seems still not sweet enough. &nbsp;So I suggested substituting half his usual wholewheat flour with coconut flour, as it's sweet and has a lovely fluffy texture, along with honey and ripe banana. &nbsp;The next morning, spur-of-the-moment, I quickly banged some ingredients together, guessing the quantities, and to my delight they turned out to be the loveliest muffins I've ever made! &nbsp;So then I decided to try replacing the wholewheat flour with tapioca flour/starch, as it's suitable for gluten-free diets (and paleo) and can be used pretty much 1:1 for wheat flour, and can help with textures in baking too. &nbsp;It works really well to do half-and-half with the coconut flour rather than using 100% coconut flour, as it can be quite sticky and tastes very 'coconutty'. &nbsp;My Dad requires gluten-free food and since he's coming to visit from England in a couple weeks I will now have something homemade to tempt his tastebuds! &nbsp;Hooray!</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>What you will need:</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>4 large free-range eggs (or 5 medium)</p>
<p>125g butter</p>
<p>4 tblsp honey</p>
<p>1 ripe banana</p>
<p>120ml milk</p>
<p>2 tsp gluten-free baking soda</p>
<p>100g coconut flour</p>
<p>150g tapioca flour/starch</p>
<p>125g fresh blueberries</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>Method:</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>In a large bowl beat the eggs until light and fluffy.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/tVLu5db.jpg" width="640" height="480"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Cut the butter into small pieces and melt.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/HdbnolT.jpg" width="640" height="480"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Mash the banana.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/KBQ7XWm.jpg" width="640" height="480"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Add the butter, banana, honey and milk to the beaten eggs and whisk again.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/g11E2u7.jpg" width="640" height="480"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Add the baking soda, coconut flour and tapioca flour to the bowl. &nbsp;Beat on lowest setting at first as these flours are fine like icing sugar and will float up in a dusty cloud to cover you! &nbsp;</p>
<p><br></p>

<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/iZdprFs.jpg" width="640" height="480"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Stir in the blueberries (I chopped the larger ones in half).</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/pjnkZAi.jpg" width="640" height="480"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Spoon the mixture into muffin cases. &nbsp;The mixture doesn't rise up as much as wheat flour muffins and so you need to put more mixture into each case - about 2/3 full, and level them out as the mixture also isn't 'pourable' as regular muffin mixture. &nbsp;Pop them into a preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius for 25-30 minutes, until golden on top and firm to the touch.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/xETNUOB.jpg" width="640" height="480"/></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Remove from the tins and allow to cool on a wire rack.</p>
<p><br></p>

<p>Scrumptious!!!</p>
