Calories: 321kcal

Ingredients

For the "Muffins"

  • 2 lbs ground pork, divided
  • 1/2 cup diced potato
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrot, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp dried sage
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp ghee

For the Gravy

  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 1 tbsp almond flour
  • 14.5 oz can coconut milk, full fat*
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp sage
  • pinch salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.  Grease a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray or fat (coconut oil or ghee).
  • In a large skillet over medium, melt the ghee.  Add the vegetables (potato, onion, carrot, and spinach) and sauté for 2 minutes to soften.  Turn off the heat, allowing the veggies to cool.  Stir in the cooked bacon if you're using it.
  • In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, egg, and 1 1/2 pounds of pork with spices, mixing lightly with your fingers or a large fork.
  • Add the cooled vegetables into the meat mixture, mixing until combined, then use your 1/4 cup measure to scoop it evenly into the greased muffin tin.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through.  Let the muffins stand for 5 minutes.
  • While the meatloaf muffins cook, heat a large skillet to medium high.  Add the remaining 1/2 pound of pork, cooking until crumbled and browned.  Use a slotted spoon to transfer the pork to a plate, leaving the rendered fat behind.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, and add 1 Tbsp of ghee to the pan.  Stir in the almond flour, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until it looks like a thickened paste.  Add the coconut milk about 1 cup at a time, stirring as you pour.  Continue to constantly stir as it bubbles and thickens to your liking.  Add plenty of salt & black pepper.
  • Stir in the cooked sausage to the gravy, then pour it over the meatloaf muffins.  Serve hot & enjoy!

Notes

  • Be sure to double check your bacon for sugar if you do use it!
  • If you are not a coconut milk fan, try almond or cashew milk!  Just double check ingredients if you're making this on a Whole30.
