As a note for folks, if you don’t have coconut flour handy, you may be able to get by with regular (unsweetened) shredded coconut, by running it through a grinder/food processor/etc. I’ve done this many times before, and it reduces the size of the shreds considerably.

I love coconut flour, so it’s great to see a recipe using it! Got some old bananas to use up, and these muffins fit the bill.

Maureen – Thanks! There is a book called The Primal Blueprint and also a book called The Paleo Diet that differ somewhat but operate under the same general principle – which is that we can achieve optimal health by imitating the nutritional profile of our paleolithic ancestors. So, although one doesn’t need to start eating raw squirrel or anything, most westerners would be better off decreasing carbohydrates by eliminating grains and sugar and making fruits and vegetables the foundation of their diet. The word ‘diet’ is used in this context to indicate a way of eating, not a weight loss ‘diet’ – although a lot of people do lose weight this way. Bacon fits in as a protein and source of healthy fat. I don’t like to eat the fat on chicken or beef so much so bacon works great for me as long as I can get it without additives.

thanks!
