Protein Packed Muffins w/ Sea Moss

If you can’t find strawberry sea moss, you can substitute for another ingredient with a similar texture, such as a smash fruit spread or your favorite nut butter.

Sea moss provides a variety of minerals, antioxidants, and fiber, making it a nutrient-rich addition to smoothies, baked goods, and other recipes.

Dry Ingredients:

• 2 cups almond flour

• 1/4 cup arrowroot starch

• 1 tsp. baking soda

• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
