Thyroid Food Diet: Coconut Almond Banana Muffins

Coconuts, almonds, and bananas – all in one muffin. What more could you ask for in a thyroid food diet?

Muffins are a tasty treat to have once in a while. They can be sweet or savory and are delicious warm from the oven.  But what happens when you have an egg, dairy, and/or gluten allergy? Don’t worry – you can still enjoy a mouth-watering muffin!  These muffins are egg, dairy, and gluten free!

For this recipe, coconut flour was used.  It is gluten free and high in dietary fiber and protein – a wonderful alternative to use for all your baking needs!  Mashed bananas were used in place of eggs – they make a denser muffin and add a sweet flavor .
