My husband and I recently agreed it's time to face reality: We eat far too much sugar, consume way too many carbs. We are now on a mission to minimize our consumption of both in hopes of increasing our energy levels as well as — we hope — our longevity.

Learning how to cut the sugar, cut the carbs has a steep learning curve, let me tell ya. After 35+ years of loving all things sugary, white, carb filled (and scrumptious... though unhealthy as all get-out), I'm struggling to find healthier foods we actually enjoy eating. 

I finally found success with these scrumptious muffins. The secret: almond flour, Splenda, and coconut oil. The surprise: My husband raved about the taste without me even prodding. Success indeed!
