We enjoy going grain free in our home every now and then. This past Saturday, everyone had a hankering for grain free blueberry muffins. So, I whipped up the easy recipe below.Â
I used a recipe on the Organic and Thrifty site as inspiration. It looked pretty close to what I was looking for. I made adjustments based on my experiences baking Paleo baked goods. For example, I don’t like to use honey for cooking as it is not a healthy practice. It’s rather amazing to me that so many Paleo recipes recommend this! It’s highly doubtful hunters and gatherers made baked goods let alone destroyed their enzyme and probiotic rich, antibiotic honey by cooking it!
The resulting creation made with almond meal flour is absolutely delicious, especially when you plop a big slab of pastured butter on top of each half! I’m sure this will be a regular in our home from now on.

These taste good! My blueberries were organic but not local or in season hahaha so they were on the sour side. But the muffin part tastes good! I smoothed the tops a little since it’s not a runny batter. And after I started filling them I realized they make 9 JUMBO muffins! Better than 9 regular sized ones LOL
Mine did not form a rounded top like traditional muffins. The ones in the picture on organic and thrifty (and above) did have a rounded top. Mine were kind of flat. They still tasted great. But I would like them to look more appealing (for others) next time. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
soo.. what’s the deal woth honey?? i’ve heard so many mixed things.. like that you can’t heat it up, and yet in the GAPS diet, that’s the only sweetener that she says we can use….
