Liver, Heart & Sausage Mini Muffins

Introduction & Inspiration

This recipe is a spin-off from my basic liver muffin recipe, to further enhance the flavours and nutrient density of these little mini muffins. The result was a tasty mixture of subtle flavours in these moist little muffins, with a nice variety of colourful toppings.

These Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet (PKD) inspired mini muffins really hit the spot and are packed full of nutrients at the same time! I was really pleased how these muffins turned out, with a multitude of topping options to keep the perfect fat to protein ratio of 2:1 for PKD. I hope you will enjoy them too!

Tips

Ideally, purchase your meat from pasture raised animals that are Nitrate, Nitrite & Additive Free.

Try and use white sea salt or rock salt that contains no anticaking agents or other additives.

Using Veal Liver gives a much milder flavour than Beef Liver. This can really help if you are just starting to eat liver.

See my section on Liver fundamentals for more ideas on cooking with liver.

Any honey should be of organic quality, and is only recommended in small amounts for those who have recovered from any kind of health condition.

Any ingredients listed as Optional, may or may not be appropriate if you are following Strict PKD with No Allowances. If you are unsure, refer to the Paleolithic Ketogenic Diet Rules document or consult with ICMNI in Hungary (Home - Nutriintervention).
