So one of the biggest challenges that people are faced with when they go Paleo, is they never have breakfast options. They either don’t have time or are just bored with eggs. That is where these muffins come into the picture. Make these in advance and go to town on flavor combinations. Add fruit, spices, nuts or anything you can dream of and keep them handy in the fridge. When you are in a rush you can grab a handful and enjoy on your drive.

Make these each week for lunchboxes.
The children love them.
Also make the banana muffins which are equally as nice!
Thanks :)
Your so welcome Bron
Went to try these out for my boyfriend and the batter was runny. Is it supposed to be runny? Also is there a way to do this with almond flour/oil/milk? I’m allergic to coconuts :( i would love to try them as well!
Stephanie it is a pretty lose batter so yes it is runny but it should still bake up. Yes you can use almond milk but not flour. This recipe is dependent on coconut flour
I made these last night, and they are delicious. I used paper liners, and mine too stuck, but regardless, I enjoyed them. I added a little honey on top after they came out and cooled a bit for a little more honey zing. I was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t have a strong coconut flavor to them. I appreciate the low amount of coconut flour (oh the cost!), and the low yield, which prevents me from trying to eat them all, because “So I ate 3, there’s still 9 left…”. :D
Woohoo so glad you enjoyed
Great recipe! So easy and quick and great flavor! I can’t wait to try other variations. Thanks so much!
You are so welcome
Love it! This is an awesome basic muffin recipe. I have made these with lemon and poppyseed, raspberries, zucchini, and peaches (not all together, lol). Thank you so much for this recipe!
That sounds amazing
Coconut flour that is:)
Is the amount of cocusflour correct? 1/4 cup seems incorrect, my muffins totally went wrong! :(
No Jessica 1/4 is right and has worked for everyone else. I would need to know what happened
Your Pinterest shares were at 666, so I had to pin this just to change that lol. But I will make them…they look yummy.
Thanks for getting me off that number :)
I made a regular size batch just to try them. They were such a hit (with me and all four kids) that I immediately made a double batch! I’ll add blueberries next time for the kids. THANK YOU!
Question: I don’t have silicon muffin cups. Are there any tricks you’d recommend to keep them from sticking?
Just a whole lot of greasing the pan with butter or coconut oil. Lots
So Yummy! Not as pretty looking as yours, but even hubby likes them, so awesome. So glad I stumbled on you and all due to instagram!
They don’t have to be pretty as long as they taste amazing :)
I just made these to go with chili and they are AWESOME!! I always make a double batch and they never make it through the night. Actually, I have chili left, but no muffins…LOL. This time, I didn’t have any coconut milk, so I just used heavy cream, still amazing.
George, you are so good to us to develop these wonderful recipes and share them with us, thank you so much.
You are so welcome Amber, that sounds amazing :)
Sooooooo goooood!
Made them this morning, and eating them right now. Doubble batch ;)
Next time I’ll take less honey, And do the Lemon-poppy seed flavour one of your readers mentioned ;)
Thanks a lot, any my kidds love them too.
Oh that sounds awesome Anna. These make a great base so experiment away
Made them a few times now. the whole Family loves them. I do them with 1/3 cup of coconutflour and add a little bit lemon juice, lemon zest and poppy seeds. Soooooo good!
That sounds amazing
Oh. Em. Gee! This is amazing! I’ve tried paleo muffin recipes before and this was by far the simplest and most delicious so far. I made these into little mini-muffins (baked for 8 mins and came out perfectly)! These are so great for a snack or super quick breakfast with a hard boiled egg! Love it! And thank you, thank you, thank you!
You are so welcome so welcome so welcome :)
My mom made these with the pecans, and they were amazing!
Awesome
When u say coconut milk do you mean in t
he can or the box milk?
You can use either
So easy and super delish! I will definitely making these on the regular! Thanks
You are so welcome
Another Home Run! These sound amazing. I should just change my Instagram handle to @BakingwithGeorge :-)
Haha Shiloh that would be the ultimate compliment :)
Sorry but a question. Do you melt the coconut oil before adding? Thanks :)
Yes you do and I am updating the recipe now :)
These look great, but was wondering: Think almond milk would work instead of coconut milk? Love all your recipes. Thanks for sharing them!!
Yes Jan almond milk would work the same :)
Could I use almond meal instead of coconut flour?
It is not a 1 for 1 swap. The coconut flour helps absorb a lot of the moisture. I have not tried it so I am unsure if it will work
I am making these later, but I can already see using this recipe as a “base” of sorts. I used to make a similar recipe with oats. The basic ingredients stayed the same (flour, honey, eggs, etc.), but I would change out the extras to make different flavors like blueberry, lemon poppy seed (lemon extract, zest, and poppyseeds), almond poppyseed (almond extract and poppyseeds), banana (maybe replace one egg + the 2 tbsp. of coconut milk with mashed banana?), apple “pie” (chopped apples and apple pie spices) etc.. I can’t wait to try this recipe! Thanks!
Well enjoy all those amazing sounding combinations :)
Can they be made without honey (for a sugar-free diet)?
I am sure they could but I have not tried to answer yea or no
Just sent my mom this recipe, she said she would bake them today!
Hope she loves them
Made these tonight but used maple syrup instead of honey (I ran out) and I added some cinnamon… VERY good! The kids loved them too! Thanks!
Woohoo I love when they are kid approved
OMG THESE MUFFINS ARE DA BOMB.COM. Made them with olive oil, normal milk and walnut instead!
Used lemon extract instead of vanilla and a touch of lemon zest for texture. So good as a treat!!!
That sounds amazing
Omg, these are soooo good…I just made them (eating one hot right now) and I love them…They’re not too sweet, which makes them perfect for a cornbread muffin replacement…Thank you so much for all of your recipes, you ROCK!!
You are so welcome Amber. I am so glad you liked them
I was wondering if these might be a good cornbread replacement! I’ll have to make some next time I make chili!
They have a lot more moisture but would be amazing with cornbread
My go to muffins! Ivebmade them with pecans and blueberries, both are DELISH!
Oh I am going to have to make them with Pecans now, good thought :)
Made these today, added walnuts and dark chocolate
How were they?
These were great! I used paper muffin liners and these stuck to them. Stupid question but should I just oil the muffin pan instead or did you guys have issues with them sticking? Regardless I loved the taste! Thanks so much George for sharing! :)
I use the silicon cups and they don’t stick
I love these Too brandy, thanks for stopping by
Enjoyed these this morning with my nitrate-free bacon & eggs! I used walnuts….very tasty!!
these were so good!!!!!!
Excellent muffins with my black coffee…
I love this one too
Made these without the pecans, but added blueberries. So good! I love the versatility of this recipe. The little one approves, too!
Oh I absolutely love these, so glad you do too
These are excellent!! I made them last night & between my husband & I we have eaten 5.
Can't wait to hear about your variations. Enjoy
Just made the basic version for the first time this AM. Came out great, looking forward to making flavor combinations like @Japwhican suggests. Thanks for sharing!
These have definately become my new favorite treat
OMG, I did use the pecans. So good. I'm going to have a hard time not eating all 6 now. Going to use this as a base even and add other things like ham and spinach, banana, blueberries etc…THANKS! So enjoying these :)
Yipee let me know how you like them
in the oven now :)
