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.

FYI… made this as a loaf last night, works perfectly…
I’m wondering if you used raw or roasted almond butter for this? I’m guessing raw, but it’s harder to find around here! Do you think roasted would affect the flavor? Thanks!
either would work! i use roasted all the time
Hi, Juli
Is almond flour the same as almond meal? And, if not, can I substitute almond flour with almond meal in any recipe and still come out with the desired consistency? Thanks in advance, Juli!
yes, it’s the same. almond flour is just made with blanched almonds that have the skin off. either will work here
Thank you for this. I will try them tonight but from all the comments I know they will be good. I’ve been craving something else for breakfast and need to put a few pounds back on. Going to make coconut whipped cream too!
Do you have any suggestions for using Tahini? Just bought some and not really sure what to do with it. Are you aware of any hummus paleo recipes?
There’s lots of paleo hummus recipes out there. Google it up
Ever since my 2 year old daughter’s birthday party she has been obsessed with cupcakes. Obviously I am not going to give her a cupcake everyday (after dinner, she starts saying, “cupcake…want it”). I made these and she LOVED them. Now, she is constantly asking for nanner cupcake.
Now I understand the name of your site. OMG was all I could say after trying the batch of these muffins I made last night! I had lost all hope in paleo baked goods until now! Every other recipe I try, ends up a real eggy bland muffin. I did find that the ones I did in a non stick muffin tin (with a little coconut oil) came out better than the ones in silicon. This might be due to my deep silicon muffin cups or that the bananas I used were really large and this may have thrown the proportions off. Etiher way I’m going to make more and try your other muffin recipes! Thanks 🙂
I am a newbie to the Paleo lifestyle and I had to stop by and let you know that I am obsessed with your recipes and that you ROCK! These muffins are our favorites and the best I’ve ever eaten! (I had to hide them from my husband!) Keep up the great work and the awesome recipes coming! You make this easy for us!!!
HOw many calories are in 1 muffin?
no clue
Made these last night and they turned out Awesome! I used pecans, put in some Vegan Protein Powder, a little less coconut flour and used 1/2 maple syrup and 1/2 coconut nector. So light and fluffy and moist – these are my new fav!
Your paleo blog is my Fav Juli!
Thanks for all of the amazing recipes, you’re a Paleo Goddess!
So I made these the other day and I realized that I forgot to add the almond butter about 5 min after I put them in the oven…they turned out great anyways. Can’t wait to try them with all the ingredients!
