Recipe - Clementine Orange Muffins

[Guest guest]

I'm a bit late for Christmas, but since it is still clementine

season, you might like this for a New Year's morning treat (or

anytime).

I got it from a post on the Old, Old ElainesChildren list. I think

it was originally posted on the LI list, and forwarded over to

Elaineschildren by Mimi (or someone). I'm sorry I can't be more

precise in giving credit. I've looked on SCDRecipe.com and UCLBS

and SCDiet.org, and can't find it, so I repost here...the original

was simply signed " Ellen " (as below).

Adam is kind of stage 1-2 kid, hadn't had any skins yet, but was

fine with these. They are yummy and kind of different for a change.

WARNING - you have to cook the clementines first, for 2 hours ! so

this is not a last minute thing, but prep is easy.

Clementine Orange Muffins (inspired by a recipe on Good Morning

America)

5-6 Clementines (approx 1 lb)

6 eggs

1 c. honey (from Sue - I used less, maybe 1/2-2/3 c.)

2 tsp. vanilla

2 tsp baking soda

5 c. almond flour

1. Place clementines in a saucepan and cover them with water (no,

don't peel them). Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 hours, adding water

as necessary. (Yes, I said 2 hours... it makes your house smell

like Christmas!)

2. Drain the clementines and let them cool.

3. Remove the hard brown stem piece if present. Slice each

clementine in half and remove any seeds.

4. Toss teh clementines into a food processor or chop them up by

hand.

5. Pour the chopped clementines into a strainer and sent them aside

to drain a little.

6. In the meantime, put everything except the almond flour in the

mixer and mix it up (those without mixers shouldn't have any trouble

doing this by hand).

7. Add in the somewhat drained chopped clementines and mix those in.

8. Add in the almond flour.

9. Fill muffin cups and bake at 300 degress convection for 25

minutes, or 325 degrees conventional oven for 30 minutes.

These are about the ymmiest muffins I've ever made! You could even

ice them and call them cupcakes!
