I want to eat these muffins seriously every day. I don’t know why I’ve never stuffed jelly into muffins before. What a dummy I am.
Yesterday, something really exciting happened to me. Let me give you a little back story. I LOVE watching Cupcake Wars. It’s pretty much the only show I watch on the Food Network anymore. I just absolutely love to see the flavors these bakers come up with. But I started loving Cupcake Wars even more when Kyra, a gluten free baker, began killing it with her crazy, creative cupcakes. Well, I fell in love with her and all the cupcakes she created, so I did what anyone would do and started stalking her on instagram. And when I left a comment on one of her pictures, SHE WROTE BACK and said that she’s been following my blog for years. I pretty much died. I seriously let out a small scream in a fit of joy. She’s so great. I hope I get to try her gluten free cupcakes someday. I may have to go to Oregon on my book tour just so I can try those beautiful things.
Another exciting thing happened to me yesterday. I got to hang out with Michelle from Nom Nom Paleo!! Have you bought her cookbook yet? It’s stunning. Anywho, she came to Denver to do a book signing and I was lucky enough to get a quick dinner with her. She picked Root Down to grab some food at, which was genius because I hadn’t been there in forever and I forgot how good it was. We got the brussels sprouts and kale salad, seared columbian arepas, bison meatballs and the beef short ribs. We both weren’t incredibly hungry so I’m lucky enough to have leftovers for breakfast today. YAY ME!! Pretty bummed we didn’t get to have dessert but there was just not enough room in our guts. That restaurant is delicious. The only thing I can complain about is when I walked in and walked up to the desk, the hostess looked at me and said, “Yeah?” Super welcoming.
You know what is kind of strange? Every picture I’ve posted on instagram lately, someone comments about my eyebrows. I don’t think I ever notice other people’s eyebrows.
Are any of you making something special for St. Patrick’s Day this weekend? Or doing something special? I’m guessing most people will say drinking. I can’t decide what to do. The past 3 years, I’ve stayed at home because I’ve been training or cooking away. Or making the excuse that I was training or cooking, so I didn’t have to go out and get drunk as balls. So what to do this year. That is the question. Tell me things!

- 3/4 cup unsweetened sunflower seed butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 medium eggs, whisked
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

what would you recommend as a good flour replacement for coconut flour? I’m allergic and sometimes have trouble finding an alternative with the right consistency. thanks!
you could use almond flour here, about 1/2 cup would work!
Do you ever use Tapioca flour? I cant eat coconut & almond flour is too dense, so most paleo recipes for baking are out 🙁
i use tapioca flour all the time, but it’s usually paired with coconut or almond flour
These look fabulous! Definitely considering shipping some of Kyra’s cupcakes out to Omaha, NE here soon now… 🙂
It’s nice to know i’m not the only one who resorts to IG stalking!
I’m allergic to bananas….why alternatives can you recommend? I’ve often shyed away from making the recipes you have that include bananas but these little nuggets look too great to resist.
i think applesauce may work, or even pureed squash. about 1 cup
Omg I am totes making these this weekend.. it’s like you read my mind. Instead of drinking, I will eat these all weekend long! Boom!
Any problems with subbing out sunflower seed butter in favor of almond butter??
that would work just fine
I did use almond butter and they are very good except I baked 30 minutes at 350 and they were overbaked and too dry. Check ’em often! Thanks for this recipe, my 5 y.o. daughter and I are big fans!
These sounds AMAZING!! I will make these as my hangover treat.. I am Irish so I think It’s like in the law that I must drink this weekend 😀 enjoy St Patricks day!!
I always notice people’s eyebrows… but that’s probably because I’m a cartoonist, and so I’m always thinking about them when I’m drawing expressions!
For me, St. Patrick’s Day always involves corned beef and cabbage. It simply can’t NOT be included!
I’m probably going to make a fake Paleo Shamrock Shake and call it a night. We’re driving like five hours roundtrip this weekend to do some shopping in the nearest big city (I know) and then I think I’m going to have to drive another three hours roundtrip for a story I’m writing for this food magazine…eight hours in a car is not conducive to drinking heavily.
Also, I’m now sitting here staring at your eyebrows in that picture. They just kind of look like eyebrows, right?
This recipe looks great and I plan on making it, maybe with almond butter instead of sunflower seed butter.
Now you know how I would feel if you ever commented or followed me on IG!!! I would die!! I am so looking forward to volunteering at Paleo f(x)! I am hoping that I get to meet you. I will be listening to you speak.
