Just because you are eating grain-free doesn’t mean you have to give up muffins. There are amazing recipes using almond and/or coconut flour. Muffins are a perfect snack because they are easy to make, easy to pack, and easy to freeze. So, I present: Nut Butter Banana Chip Muffins, Gingery Carrot Muffins, Orange Chocolate & Vanilla Muffins, and Cinnamon Muffins. Your family is sure to love at least one of the recipes below.

Nut Butter Banana Chip Muffins

These are my favorite muffins. If I make them after the kids go to bed, sometimes I finish them all (having a little evening snack, and then as a breakfast with my morning coffee or tea).

Gingery Carrot Muffins

This is a new recipe for us that I kind of threw together and it ended up tasting really good. So, if you want some veggies in your muffin, this is a perfect choice.

Orange Chocolate & Vanilla Muffins

Okay, so this recipe isn’t for muffins that are chocolate and vanilla – I made half of them chocolate and half vanilla. I thought about making them both, as layered muffins, but that seemed like a lot of work for muffins. A idea for a future cake, maybe. So, what I did was combine all the ingredients except the cacao, and then fill half the muffin trays. Then, I added in the cacao to the remaining mix and filled the rest of the trays – making half of the muffins Orange Chocolate and half of them Orange Vanilla.

Cinnamon Muffins

In one of my summer newsletters, I featured this “Cinnamon Vanilla Paleo Muffins” recipe from Healy Eats Real. This is my go-to muffin recipe for school parties and events. It’s super quick and easy, and it’s always a crowd-pleaser. This looks a little darker than they usually turn out because I let my kids sprinkle the cinnamon on top – they were pretty liberal! Here are the ingredients, with only minor adjustments.
