Dirty Chai Paleo Muffins with Cinnamon Sugar Whipped Cream
I have a dirty chai latte lover at home. And I love it! This man is a total sucker for crafted coffee beverages, those that are a bit sweet and a bit spicy (which, coincidentally, is his wife’s personality description – wink wink).
This guy I am talking about is, of course, my hubby and he’ll drink these dirty chai tea lattes like they are water. I mean, he totally knows these drinks are packed with empty calories and that the ingredients used to prepare them are not the best for you (to say the least)…but still he can’t resist them. So to stay in shape and not flush his hard workouts down the toilet, he’ll choose to treat himself to one of these latte “cheats” only a few times a week. I love how he’s figured out a way to stay on top of his goals without giving up what makes him happy. He’ll be really consistent with his training, really good with his diet, and then indulge on his favorite drink. It’s the little things in life, right?
Ingredients
For the Muffins
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 chai tea bags
¼ cup cold coffee (I used a lungo shot of Vanilio Nespresso, using my KitchenAid Nespresso machine)
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
3 large eggs, whisked
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup tapioca flour
½ cup coconut flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon sea salt
For the Cinnamon Sugar and Whipped Cream
1 can full fat coconut milk, chilled overnight
4 heaping tablespoons powdered sugar (if fully paleo, use coconut sugar)
Cinnamon, to taste
Granulated sugar, to taste (if fully paleo, use coconut sugar)
