Traci's Test Kitchen: Nut Butter Muffins
Traci
I love cookbooks, especially ones with beautiful photos. In fact, I actually love cookbooks more than I love cooking. If I could look through wonderful food photos and simply pin them in the kitchen for my personal chef that would be a dream come true.Since the personal chef is not yet in the kitchen, I am making attempts at some beautiful, healthy, new recipes. I made one the other day that met my criteria:
1. Simple 2. Tastes good 3. Contains ingredients I usually have on hand 4. Turns out reasonably close to how it should
Bonus: Gluten and dairy free for the many who choose to avoid those ingredients.
This recipe is from a new cookbook of mine, Raw Food Chef, by Dr. Libby Weaver. I had the privilege of hearing Dr. Libby speak at USANA's 2013 International Convention. Dr. Libby is super knowledgable about how our bodies work and I am inspired to eat healthier and take my USANA supplements every time I hear her speak. She also has a fantastic Australian accent - so jealous! Recipe: Nut Butter Muffins
