These easy to make paleo muffins are made without refined sugar or dairy and use simple ingredients: almond flour, eggs, powdered peanut butter and chocolate chips. Bake them on the weekend and you’ll have a grab-and-go breakfast alternative during the week. They are both gluten-free and grain-free.

Paleo walnut muffins are terrific for a quick breakfast or a healthy afternoon snack. I enjoy them with a dollop of Fatso creamy MCT peanut butter.

Made with almond flour, these muffins are an easy way to add grain-free baking to your kitchen. You can easily find almond flour in most grocery stores now, but make sure you buy the finely ground variety as it works best for baking.

WHAT IS A PALEO BAKING RECIPE?

In paleo baking you want to replace all white grain flours and refined sugars in the recipe with healthy alternatives. Use flours made with nuts like almonds or cashew ,or flours like coconut, tapioca or arrowroot starch. Replace refined sugar with honey, maple syrup, dates or, one of my favourites, Swerve sweetener made with erythritol.

I’m a huge fan of muffins and one of the first recipes I tried to make when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease was a gluten-free version. My early attempts were not very good, but with perseverance I’m thankful that I can now easily whip up a batch of gluten-free muffins from one of the many recipes on the blog.

In the morning I like to have a muffin with my soy earl grey tea latte. It is a great way to start my day. If you are a muffin fan you’ve come to the right place for inspiration. Today I am sharing a gluten-free, grain-free, dairy and refined-sugar-free muffin recipe. What I didn’t leave out of the muffin was great TASTE by the way!

Here are some gluten-free muffin recipes on the blog:

4. Mix the dry ingredients to the wet on low speed until smooth.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Pour batter into the 6 lined paper cups.

Walnuts and chocolate chips were used in this recipe but you could easily substitute pecans or use sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Substitute the chocolate chips with dried cranberries, raisins or dried cherries as they all work very well.
