by A hearty & delicious alternative to regular muffins. These muffins are made with fruit instead of refined sugar, and almond meal instead of all-purpose flour. The recipe is heavy on spices (lots of cinnamon, clove, and all-spice), and can be adjusted to personal taste. Cut back on the spice amounts listed in the recipe, if you don’t like your baked goods spicy. The Stevia can be left out or more added depending on how sweet you like your muffins. For me, the natural sweetness of the fruit is generally plenty (even without the Stevia), but if you are used to eating baked goods with refined sugar you may need to add more Stevia.
