Week one- and it's DONE!

Well- it's official! I made it past one week! One week of no sugar, no wheat, nothing that could turn into instant sugar... and to be honest... it hasn't been to bad. Once ya get past the sugar with drawl for the first few days, things turn around.
One of my saving graces was a Cinnamon Bun Muffins (that I turned into a loaf)


Cinnamon Topping:
1/2 tbsp xylitol
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp grapeseed oil
  1. To make cinnamon topping, combine all ingredients in a small bowl (if you feel the need to increase the amount xylitol- DO IT!!!)
  2. Set aside. 
Muffin/ loaf mix:
1 Cup blanched almond flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp celtic sea salt
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1/4 cup xylitol
3 eggs
1tbsp vanilla

  1. Combine first four ingredients in a medium bowl. 
  2. In a larger bowl mix the remaining ingredience. 
  3. Blend dry ingredients into wet and scoop 1/4 cup into a lined muffin cup, or pour into a parchment lined loaf pan. 
  4. Spoon topping onto muffins/ or on top of loaf.
  5. Bake muffins for 8-12 min at 350 degrees. 
Now that the week is up and the loaf is gone... it's time to make another batch!!! REMEMBER: Preparation is the key in beating the 30 days!
