Cashew butter muffin

Cabin fever set in and I was just experimenting.  Desperate times calls for desperate measures.  :)  I'm loving the fact that nut butters can work on their own without any flour. Great news for me because we're grain-free.

I adapted this recipe from the recipe on Joyful abode.com, she uses almond butter but my daughter is reacting to almonds right now so I decided to use cashew butter instead.  This one didn't rise as much as if you would use almond butter.  I suppose you can also make them bigger or even use cupcake liners.



Ingredients:

1 cup cashew butter
1 egg
2 tbsp honey
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tbsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix everything together by hand or with a mixer.  Put spoonfuls in greased muffin pan.  I put apricots on a few of them just for the heck of it.  Bake for 20 mins or til done!  They looked a little funky but they were good!  My daughter liked them!
