It’s official. Chocolate and I have broken off our long term relationship. We’ve had a bumpy one. A really messy one you could say. Love-Hate. We break up then get back together in a very passionate way. Make up sex style. I’m disappointed in myself for just saying that. Not really. But for reals, it’s over this time. For at least 5 weeks. Jason bet me $3 that I couldn’t resist chocolate for 5 weeks, until after the CrossFit Open, so I must prove him wrong. He will be wrong.
Wanna know what I did this Saturday night? It was pretty epic so get ready. I ate dinner with my parents and uncle, we cooked fajitas, then talked about child birth because my uncle just had a kid, I mostly talked about how gross it is, then I went home. Don’t worry, this is where sh*t gets real. I dyed my hair (because my natural color is blonde so I have to dye it every 2 weeks) then put on a yeast face mask and watched youtube videos. Yep. I sat on my couch with my glossy hair slicked back, a face mask hardening my skin that smelled like rising bread, in a huge baggy sweatshirt and shorts with a hole in the butt cheek. What am I doing with my life.
Oh wait, I also made a dessert that failed. Wish you could understand the smells that filled my house that fine Saturday night. I’m pretty sure I was high. High school all over again. Kidding. Slightly.
I also cried during a muscle up wod. I had 20 to do and finished 19, failed 6x on the 20th one, tore my hands, then cried in disappointment. I also kicked the wall and said ‘f*ck you’ loudly. Real mature Juli, real mature. I hate you muscle ups. I.HATE.YOU.
What’s up with people wearing track suits? So weird.
Ryan Gosling is adorable. I wish he would take me on a date that included him falling in love with me. And smiling at me. A lot. It’s not that much to ask people.
Simple Blueberry Muffins
- Yield: 8-10 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1 cup almond meal/almond flour
- 3 eggs, whisked
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- pinch of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. If you’re good at baking, you’ll know to mix the dry then the wet ingredients then mix together, but I do all the ingredients together and it works out just fine.
- Place ingredients into 8-10 silicone muffin cups in a muffin tin. Or you can use muffin tin paper liners.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. Just keep an eye on it, they will puff up and look adorable.
- Eat them and be happy. And merry.

These muffins are the best paleo muffins I’ve made! Seriously stunning – you wouldn’t know they were good for you 🙂 Thankyou.
Awesome!! I added zest and juice of 1 lime and couldn’t stop singing “you put the lime in the coconut” :).
I must say that my kiddos (4 & 2) prefer your paleo recipes over most. So congrats! So often kids paleo recipes are a bit too “dumbed down”. Little ones actually have quite discerning tastes and this momma knows she can count on you in a pinch. THANK YOU!
They are delicious!! Ive tried other paleo muffin recipes but this one tops them all! Really moist My boyfriend eats super unhealthy and he even likes them
Delicious! I doubled the amount of blueberries and would even add more next time. Turned out great even without muffin liners – I just greased my muffin tins with coconut oil.
I feel like I’m the only one who did something wrong when making this recipe- my muffins are grease balls. Puffed up? Yes. Delicate and flaky? In a way I never thought Paleo baked goods could manage. Eatable? I’m not sure. It’s like the things have been deep-fried. I’ll reduce the amount of almond butter and try again.
I found your blog a week or so ago and have printed up a few recipes to try. I just made this and its totally 5 star worthy…..LOVED them. So so easy too. Made them tonight for my husband and I and could believe how big they were. I got 14 out of the recipe and they were all of a decent size. Thank you and good luck with the cookbook. Mine cooked in 20 minutes perfectly.
I thought I had made a batch of these, but for some reason they disappeared…. they were that good!!! Loved this simple recipe. Need to start another batch for this weekend.
Instead of using coconut oil, can I use butter. If so, do I need to add more to compensate. If I use butter, are the muffins going to come out more dry
yes! same amount should work
This is a FAN-FRIGGIN’-TASTIC recipe!!! My boyfriend made these last night for dessert and it took everything in me not to go Cookie Monster on them. LOL!! Thanks for sharing!
Can I substitue any other ingredient for the coconut? Not a big fan of coconut, but REALLY want to make these! Thanks and love your blog!
the coconut acts as a binding agent so it may be a bit difficult but adding some chopped nuts may help it stick together better without the coconut. worth trying!
