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.

julie
do you have the nutritional breakdown on these muffins
no i don’t
These were AWESOME. Thanks
Just made these, and I am very pleased with the outcome! very good, but am i supposed to keep the leftovers cool?? or just at room temp??
i keep mine in the fridge to keep from going bad too quickly
Made these today, amazing!! Even my husband, who is very hard to please when it comes to healthy food, really liked them! Keep up the great recipes, Juli, you have really helped to make this Paleo thing easy.
Umm, leftovers? No worries there.
My kids LOVED these…I was able to bribe them to do my bidding for seconds. As far as I’m concerned, these are power muffins.
These are phenomenal!! HOLY COW!! O_O
I love how your recipes just TURN OUT RIGHT. No tweaking, no fuss, no disappointment. Just deliciousness.
This recipe is definitely going on regular rotation. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us!! 😀
WowowoWOW.
I am new to Paleo, and this is the first recipe of yours I have tried. It’s absolutely incredible. I had my roommates try them, not knowing they were Paleo and they are hooked. I substituted almond flour for coconut flour and did half agave half maple syrup. They turned out awesome!
Thanks for the great recipe!
FYI to anyone who is wondering, I just made these in a mini muffin pan (they’re for a bunch of kids, so I figured it would be more convenient!), and they were done after 17 minutes in the oven, same temp as in original recipe :).
And Juli,…YUM. This is the second time I’ve made these and they are a winner to everyone in my family (which NEVER happens),
These are amazing! I just made them and somehow resisted trying one until it was cool. Hands down, the best paleo baked good I have made in the last year!
I substituted 1/2 coconut sugar since I didn’t have any maple syrup. They turned out perfect.
I love your recipes and want to try this.. My problem is that I have an almond allergy. Can I sub another but butter or seed butter in most almond butter recipes? What do you recommend? Also I know this recipe doesn’t contain it but what could I sub for almond flour? Thanks!!
absolutely! seed butter would work just fine!!
