Ingredient Highlights

Apples cleanse the colon of bacteria, viruses, yeast, and mold. They also support the liver, digestive tract function, and brain health.

Carrots were originally medicine, not food.They’ve been used in potions and remedies for the stomach, bladder, jaundice, the easing of menstruation, and cancer.

Cinnamon comes from the bark of trees in the Cinnamomum family and has been used as both a medicine and a spice. Research suggests that daily use can have positive effects on blood sugar levels, digestion, immunity, and heart health.

Coconut oil provides a boost of healthy fat that can energize and satiate.It is a strong antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial food.

Collagen helps maintain the structure and integrity of skin, hair, nails, muscle tissue, bones, tendons, and more. Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens includes targeted nutrients such as zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 which enhance the bioavailability and potency of collagen.

Ginger is a potent aromatic herb and a good natural source of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, copper, and manganese. It has been used for thousands of years in Asia to treat stomach ache, diarrhea, and nausea.

Maple syrup contains a number of minerals including manganese, zinc, calcium, and potassium. It also contains amino acids, antioxidants, and even some anti-inflammatory compounds.

Walnuts are a good plant source of omega-3 fatty acids. Eating foods containing omega-3s can help cleanse your lungs and keep your pulmonary system working effectively.

Comments

  1. I made these using a bag of gluten-free flour I picked up at a local store and they were delicious!! From the optional list I added walnuts, a scoop of Clean Sourced Collagens powder, the ginger, and the cup of gf rolled oats. They would have been even better if I'd had raisins on hand (but no one in my house likes them except me). Made a full 12 muffins. I hid some away in the freezer otherwise they would have all been gone in a flash!

  2. Gluten free flour or GF baking flour mix? The mix would have xanthan gum for binding. If you use just the flour, like sorghum or coconut, alone, will it not make muffins dense and gritty? I haven't had good experience using just one kind of GF flour in a recipe. Can you specify which flour you used in this recipe? Thanks.
