Perfect for breakfast, lunch or a quick and easy dinner! Make these delicious savory muffins in advance, keep in the freezer and just reheat when you need them!

Tapioca flour is derived from the cassava plant, which is a sticky root vegetable, making it hold some great binding properties. Baking with Tapioca is becoming more common with the Paleo movement as it helps give baked goods a better texture. In this recipe we have combined with flaxseed meal and coconut flour to create a paleo friendly combination, and a great nut-free version of savory muffins.
