Serves: 4

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! The boyfriend and I decorated our tree over the weekend! I can’t even explain to you how happy that makes me! I also tortured him with endless hours of Christmas movies on Saturday after eating our Thanksgiving dinner! :) I’m sure sometime within the next 7-14 days he will want to run as far away from me as possible so he doesn’t have to hear another word about how much I love Christmas! haha

If you remember back to the beginning of November, I mentioned that I had bought some Chestnut Flour while home in MA during hurricane Sandy. This is my first recipe using it and let me tell you….I LOVE it! It has a nutty flavor, yet sweet flavor and the best part it is gluten free! Yeah for no wheat! :) It also is low in fat/calories and contains less carbs than wheat! I think the best part is the amazing flavor though! These came out tasting almost like a hermit cookie! I hope you enjoy them!

Like, I mentioned above, these had a very similar taste to a hermit cookie, which is one of my favorites! The chestnut flour, cinnamon and raisins combined into this amazing muffin knocked my socks off! They were soft and loaded with chewy, sweet raisins! They were so good, I didn’t leave any for the boyfriend to taste! Ooops! I ate them with a side of vanilla sweetened greek yogurt to add some protein!
