I can&#8217;t say I was excited by the idea (my idea of a breakfast pastry includes butter, white flour, and sugar) but decided to give it a try&#8230;and was surprised and pleased by the results.<\/p>\n<p>I used buttermilk\u00a0and\u00a0honey,\u00a0so this isn&#8217;t vegan, but it is a lot healthier than my usual creations, and unexpectedly light and fluffy!<\/p>\n<p>Use whatever fruit you like. I put chopped strawberries and blueberries in mine, but will also be trying these with raspberries and chopped banana in the near future. If you toast your pecans before adding them, it will boost the flavor factor immensely.<\/p>\n<p>I also have a thing about toppings on muffins &#8211;\u00a0more is better! For the sake of keeping these reasonably healthy, I toned that down a bit and just put a tiny amount on each muffin before baking. You can\u00a0simply sprinkle them with finely chopped nuts and cinnamon if you prefer, or leave them plain. (Here I go&#8230;can&#8217;t help myself: a drizzle of simple powdered sugar icing would be lovely too!)<\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/GF-muffins-watermarked-1024x683.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Gluten Free Berry Pecan Muffins<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">The Rowdy Baker<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERSummary summary\">Makes 12<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 cups almond flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 tablespoons coconut flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 teaspoon baking soda<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 teaspoon cinnamon<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2\/3 cup berries (if using strawberries, chop them coarsely)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 tablespoon orange zest<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/3 cup chopped pecans<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 cup buttermilk<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 eggs<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3 tablespoons honey<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 teaspoons vanilla<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4 cup melted coconut oil<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">STREUSEL TOPPING (optional)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 teaspoon melted coconut oil<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2 teaspoons brown sugar<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">pinch salt<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 teaspoon coconut flour<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3 tablespoons finely chopped pecans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Heat oven to 375 F.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place foil or paper liners in 12-cavity muffin pan<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add berries, orange zest, and chopped nuts.
