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.

Hi, this recipe looks great, I can’t wait to try it!
Just a quick question, do you add the baking powder at the same time as adding the baking soda? It didn’t say when to add the baking powder in the method.
Thanks 🙂

My husband and I recently went Paleo and neither ofus like Coconut oil/ flour anything. We have tried to substitute with almond, cashew or hazelnut meal but the consistency in baking is not the same. (Sometimes it works and we like it) Can you recommend another substitute? Thanks!
almond flour is the best substitute for the consistency of muffins
Hi! I love this blog, and all the recipes! I’m from Sweden and i eat clean Paleo 🙂 feel soo good! Have a nice day.

I’m a man and a cop so you can imagine the ribbing I got at work when the before and after pictures appeared on Facebook.
Despite this the ‘Man Cakes’ (I had to rename them to hold on to some dignity) when down a storm with the guys. I bake them in 7 large silicone muffin cases so they were quite big, tasty, moist and delicious…….. That’s the feminine side coming out again lol 😀
Silly ?: are these muffins regular muffins size
Or mini muffins? Thanks, doll. You’re the best!
I’ve always wanted a silicone muffin pan but was worried about cleaning. Other cheap ones i’ve had left a rim of hard to get off batter stuck to the sides. I totally just ordered this one on Amazon. I can’t wait to make these muffins in it!
it’s awesome! all i had to do was wipe out the pan with a paper towel!
Eating one of these as I type this…and these may be one of the most amazing muffins I have ever tasted!!! Thanks for the recipe!!
I want to make these but I’m all out of almond butter can i use coconut oil in place of th almond butter?
