  • 3/4 cup coconut flour
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup honey
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt or unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil, melted

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease muffin pan very well with coconut oil or palm shortening, set aside.

Beat eggs in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in honey until incorporated, followed by yogurt (or applesauce), butter (or oil), salt, orange extract (or zest), baking powder, and baking soda.

Sift in the coconut flour, stirring until moistened through. Gently fold in the diced pineapple until combined.
