• 0.25 cup ghee for brushing
• 2 tablespoons coconut sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a muffin tin with 6 parchment paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the coconut milk, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.

Step 5

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about three-quarters full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are just golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Let the ensaymada cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Step 8

Once warm, generously brush the tops with melted ghee and sprinkle with coconut sugar.

Step 9

For an optional savory-sweet twist, top with grated dairy-free cheese before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy the indulgent, comforting flavors perfect for any Paleo-friendly occasion.
