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.

no
OMG! Just made these muffins and they are SO amazing. Would it be wrong to have 3 for breakfast?
All your recipes are favorites and feed my family every week. Thank you for sharing!
Will these turn out without the almond butter? I completely forgot to put this in. They are in muffin tin cups right now, not baked yet.
not sure, i’ve only made them the way the recipe is written. it may, though! just will probably be a tad different
Thanks for replying! I ended up taking them out of the muffin cups and adding in 1/2c almond butter (that’s all i had in fridge) and they turned out AMAZING. I also made them with frozen blueberries and this was fine as well. Will be making more today as I can see these will be gone fast. Thank you for your recipes – I have tried many and pretty much all of them have turned out awesome and super yummy. I am a newbie to the Paleo diet and your recipes make it easy. I will be getting your recipe book for Christmas 🙂
hi,I am trying to make this recipe, but I can’t use honey, can Sub anything else?,I do low carb to stay off my diabetes meds, it works for me, but honey is not good for me.thanks
i don’t know much about diabetes so i’m not sure what sweetener you could use, but you could definitely use a different sweetener that is lower carb
Delicious!! And holy crap they’re filling!
is it okay to use frozen blueberries instead?
yes
This may be a silly question that’s already been answered – what is the consistency of these supposed to end up like? I have made them twice and they always end up not cake-like, like most muffins, with a somewhat wet consistency in the middle. They’re delicious – i just want to make sure i’m not undercooking them!
sounds like they aren’t cooked through all the way because they should not be wet at all
I had the same issue but I think it’s because I used almond flour instead & assumed measurements would be the same. I think I need to add more for binding. They’re yummy tho so will try again!
I was very pleased with this recipe 😀 Ty so much for sharing too. I was tempted to add a few more blueberries and they were organic frozen so i added a little more cook time which made them a little toastier looking but 100% Yummo!!! i do drizzle a little honey and a few tiny grains of salt. 2 pinches for next time on salt 😛 <3 this recipe! & cant wait to try other fruit and toppings or nuts….choc chips 😀
I made these muffins they were terrible. So oily they were dripping. 1 cup of butter plus the coconut oil made them so wet i had to throw them away.
so sorry to hear you had an issue, elyse! i use freshly ground almond butter which doesn’t have the excess oil in it. that may have caused the issue for you. that’s my best guess since i wasn’t in your kitchen or able to see the products you used
made these today and wonder why they didn’t cook through?
I did use a metal pan without liners, and baked at 350 for 17 min, then added 5 more.
The top is golden and done, but the inside is molten. I also added closer to 3/4 cup fresh blueberries.
Do you think my baking powder is old, or more would help next time?
I’m eating them with a spoon anyway, and they are delicious…
it could definitely be the baking powder if they didn’t cook through and rise
This happened to me, too! I was looking forward to muffins that would ‘fluff up and look aforable’ But they all have sunken holes and are uncooked in the middle 🙁 all of my ingredients were bought today so I’m not sure where I went wrong. Although undercooked, still delicious!
