If I start my day with sugary sweet pastries or even carb laden cereal, I’m in for a blood sugar roller coaster that will leave me craving more sweets all day long. The problem is, savory breakfast foods like eggs and sausage aren’t always what I’m in the mood for.
These Coconut Coffee Cakes make a perfect substitution for muffins and breakfast bread and pair with a mid-morning cup of coffee beautifully. When adding collagen protein powder (optional in this recipe) I feel even better about this breakfast choice.

- 1 tsp Coconut Flour
- 1/8 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease muffin tin.
- Whisk together all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
