Notes

For best results, measure ingredients by weight (when given)

*Coconut flour is added for texture - making these muffins more dense.  This ingredient is optional, but necessary to achieve the texture shown in these photos.  If you want a lighter, more airy muffin, replace the 2 Tbsp coconut flour with 3 Tbsp arrowroot flour and bake for just 15 minutes.  Both results taste wonderful but produce slightly different textures. (I preferred these muffins with coconut flour, but my kids liked them better with arrowroot.)
