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!

Isn’t it funny that we can just cut muffins in half and spoon jam on them? But there’s just something about the “stuffing” and baking part that is amazing.
This is off topic but I’ve been searching your blog posts for… well, way too long and I just can’t find what I’m looking for. Did you mention recently that you started wearing a Fit Bit? I think so because I remember you liking the fireworks. I was just wondering which one you were wearing? Been shopping for one but the reviews are all over the place with them falling off, not being accurate, being the best thing ever, etc etc etc. Would you mind sharing which model you have been wearing?
I made these today but with peanut butter. They were really good. My SO liked them too and he is not a sweets eater. I can’t wait to eat them for breakfast.
I just saw your book for preorder on amazon! I can’t wait to get it. Your site is my favorite paleo site.
I notice your eyebrows because I’m an esthetician! If you are ever in NYC, I want to do them for you! Just bring paleo brownies:))
maybe chestnut flour can be a good replacement, or is it not paleo?
absolutely!
I LOVE Kyra’s! I work ten minutes from there!
Definitely excited to give these a try 🙂
I made these last night and the muffins are awesome, my only question was how do you get the jelly not to absorb into the muffin? I used your jelly recipe and followed your recipe, but it just soaked into the muffin like a day old PB&J sandwich. Any suggestions?
i’m not totally sure. my barely soaked into the muffin, but i didn’t do anything special! maybe you just needed more jelly
These look amazing 🙂 Classic combination and definitely getting your book! Keep up the awesome work!!
I just made these on Sunday…they are seriously, dangerously delicious. I didn’t have any jelly and was wayyyyy to lazy to make some so I just plopped some fresh blueberries into the batter and they came out perfect!
