While i made some Choc-Banana muffins for the family to munch, i went for my sugar free and again gluten free muffins for myself (and anyone else who wants one!). You don't have to make them gluten free but i had rice flour and actually prefer the taste! With the site of some ripening kiwi fruits, i had another muffin experiment with some healthy Kiwi fruit and Coconut muffins, no added sugar but instead added some super chia seeds and my all time love dates :) I soon discovered another little gem hidden in the corner of a fruit bowl... A yellow passion fruit!
Yellow passions are generally larger than the purple varieties, but the pulp of the purple fruit is less acid, richer in aroma and flavor, and has a higher proportion of juicy pulp full of vitamin C, A and potassium along with many other minerals and vitamins :) so for some added zing and taste i added one of them too.
Kiwi Coconut Muffins - Gluten and Sugar free
Ingredients
4 medium kiwi fruit, peeled and mashed
1/2 cup pitted and chopped dates
1 Yellow passion fruit pulp
1 egg lightly beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon honey
1 1/2 cups Rice four
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 tablespoon Chia seeds
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp bi carb soda
2 tsp baking powder
Pre-heat oven to 180 degree Celsius and prepare 1 or 2 x 12 tray muffin pans. I made 18 muffins with this recipe but you can make them bigger (or smaller) if you like!
Mash the Kiwi in a large bowl and stir in the chopped dates and passion pulp.

Add the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed.
Spoon into muffin pans 3/4 full and sprinkle the tops with shredded coconut.
Bake in moderate oven for 20 minutes until lightly browned.
Food for thought next time, maybe raspberries instead of dates? They were a win for mum and I as they are all the same :) Enjoy!
