So the other day, when the Broncos game was starting, I decided I should probably watch at least 5 minutes of it. Mostly because it keeps me social. It seems that all of my friends like sports, or at least act like they like sports to fit in, and I like still having friends on Sundays. Since some of my friends were at a friend’s house watching the game, I decided I would first make some muffins for them. Making muffins would kill time within the first hour of the game and then my friends would enjoy my presence more since I brought them a gift. So I made these muffins on a whim, brought them over to their house, worked on my computer the rest of the game and still had friends! It was a win-win situation. And these muffins are freaking awesome. They might not puff up super high, but they are soft and sorry, moist, and delicious.
Even though I don’t like sports, I’ll definitely still be making some Super Bowl snacks for you next week. When I think about it, football isn’t football without snacks. And I love snacks. So I guess I kind of love football. Ok, not really. But I tried.
In other exciting news, I was extremely excited to get a new OvenArt silicone muffin pan in the mail the other day. I’ve used a ton of different silicone muffin liners, but this has to be my favorite. Especially since the pan is smooth so you don’t get any ridges in your muffins. That may be OCD, but it looks way better in pictures. And they look better when you’re handing them off to friends as bribery so they don’t care that you’re not partaking in sports watching activities. Anywho, I didn’t even grease the pan and they all popped out perfect. I love them. This is not some paid advertisement. I seriously want to make muffins and cupcakes all.the.time now.
I’m getting so excited to move into my new place!! I don’t move for a little longer but all I can seem to do is clean and pack. How is organizing so unappealing when you’ve lived somewhere for 3 years but so thrilling when you’re moving? I don’t get it.

Made these over the weekend and they exceeded my expectations. Easily the best paleo muffin recipe I’ve tried – period! No wet/spongy texture here at all. They taste exactly as if they were made with a wheat flour. Love using almond butters in cookies and muffins. Thanks, Juli for this gem! I will make these again and again.
These are amazing! I typically hate paleo recipes but these are so moist! At the same time they don’t turn to mush the next day like so many other paleo recipes that claim to be “moist”. These actually taste like they aren’t paleo. Thanks for the recipe! The only thing I changed was I used ground peanut butter since I didn’t have almond butter on hand. They are great! I am definitely saving this recipe.
made these last week and came out great! Couldn’t even tell that they were GF and all of my non-GF coworkers loved them. Thanks!!
Healthy and taste great but they are just mush? I follow it exactly and made them twice now-last time baked them for 35 minutes and still they are way too soft, anyone else experience that?
not sure why that happened
It say this makes nine but I half some batter left over, is this ok are there not supposed to be any batter left? Did I do something wrong? Is the batter only make nine?
if your batter makes more than nine, then make more than nine. muffin tins and scoop sizes will range
One of the best Paleo baking recipes I’ve tried! So good.
Hi Juli – thanks for another fabulous recipe! I just got my wisdom teeth out last week and am now recovering, moving onto solid foods. Thought these would make a yummy treat to cheer me up! Love your coffee cake banana bread recipe and have made it several times. It was a toss up but I’m excited about these muffins! Thanks!
Love theses muffins, perfect with coffee. I made only two slight changes: I used 2T maple syrup and 1T coconut sugar, and pecans instead of walnuts. I was a little skimpy on the chocolate chips since they add a lot of carbs. I got 12 muffins in a regular muffin tin. For those who have wondered about the nutritional information, I ran it through an online recipe calculator and here are the results. 175 calories, 16 carbs, 12 fat, 5 protein, 43 sodium.
How do I store these muffins? Do I need to keep them in the fridge?
in the fridge in a container!
Made these, they are wonderful! Left out the chocolate chips, cause I wasn’t in the mood. Used homemade almond butter. Yum yum yum! Thank you!
