So I realized something the other day. There is a rather large lack of muffin recipes on the blog. Like none! How could I have let that happen? I have no idea my friends. But I am going to remedy that. Starting right now.

After spotting persimmons at my local grocery store recently I was compelled to try this foreign fruit (foreign to me anyways). Well they are so good!  I can’t believe I had never had one until now. I will be hunting these babies down in the grocery store more often that’s for sure. They were so good in fact that I decided I needed to turn them into some sort of baked good. And these muffins are the result. And they are pretty darn delicious if you ask me! These have also been tested and approved by my mother and the boyfriend so I feel pretty confident in recommending them to you.

These muffins make a great breakfast option, snack or even dessert. They can be eaten plain or smothered with a little grass-fed butter or ghee, or my personal favourite, bacon fat (you will have to trust me on this one). These are also are nut and egg free for those of you out there with dietary restrictions or allergies. Instead of an egg these can be made with a gelatin egg, which is how I made them. And if you have read my post on grass-fed gelatin you know that I am a fan of this under-used superfood. It is powerful stuff my friends. It gets used a lot in my kitchen. And if the sound of a gelatin egg sounds totally crazy just head down to the recipe to see how you make one. It’s easy. Trust me.

Alright everyone I hope you like these! Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. I always love hearing from you. And until next time, happy eating!

And if you are interested I would be thrilled if you visited me on Pinterest, Facebook or Instagram.

    Hey Sara no I haven't but I am sure it could be done. I would try cooking it between 40-50 minutes as a ballpark guess? Sorry I know that is not super helpful.
