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.

Well… I don’t know what those exercise moves are that everyones talking about, shoot, I can’t even do a cartwheel!! I kinda suck. Anywho, been Paleo for about 5 weeks now, and I can’t wait to do some curls with a muffin in each fist! Yeah… they look THAT GOOD!! 🙂
I have to admit – I was SUPER skeptical at first… I’ve followed a clean “paleo” style diet for YEARS, and I’ve tried A LOT of paleo baked goods recipes and many times they flop. Either they are too sweet, taste too much like almond flour or coconut flour – or they are just straight up weird… – these ones are not your average paleo muffins. These are FANTASTIC! I’m always looking for easy ways to make sure I eat enough (crossfitter + super clean diet = hungry/ALWAYS needing to cook) and as a Chiropractic student time is limited! Thank you so much for these – I LOVE THEM! Way to go! You rock!
Also – I added a pinch of cardamom and nutmeg – yum!!!
These are amazing.
Nutritional facts by chance?
nope
Can I use regular butter instead of almond butter?
no
I am new to Paleo. Can this recipe be doubled? Made your breakfast casserole this morning. My daughter and I liked it a lot!
definitely! You can freeze them also.
tried the recipient and my muffins collapsed in the middle!:( not sure what I’m doing wrong? 🙁
Man I’m sorry they collapsed… not sure what went wrong?!?!
OMGGGGGGG THESE ARE AMAZING!!!! Your recipes rule. Thank you 😉 pregnant with first trimester morning sickness and these hit the spot
Hi there! I haven’t tried these yet but they look amazing! I can’t wait! I do have a question though. Can I use coconut flour in place of the almond meal? And if so, would it be a 1:1 ratio?
Thanks!!!
no, not at all. coconut flour is completely different
Loved these! Mixed the batter with frozen blueberries and then left it out on the counter overnight (I know, I know…. but the eggs!). Baked it quickly in the morning while getting ready for the day, school, etc. Was ready in plenty of time and a great addition to our breakfast! Used maple syrup instead of honey for our Low FODMAPers
awesome, glad you liked them!
Is there a substitution for almond flour? I have a nut allergy and I can’t eat wheat (but it doesn’t necessarily have to be paelo). Thank you!
not for this exact recipe, but i have many nut free muffins on my site!
