paleo strawberry chocolate chip muffins

May 12, 2017 by zenbelly 15 Comments

Don’t you love when you’re inspired at the Farmers Market? I do, especially when the result of that inspiration looks like these strawberry chocolate chip muffins.

This past Sunday, the Farmers Market started showing off the first berries of the season. The calendar can say whatever it wants, but to me, berries at the farmers market means the start of summer. Inevitably, when this happens I buy way more berries than a human can safely eat and then find myself looking for ways to use them all up before they go bad. Worst case scenario- they get frozen. Best case scenario- they get snacked on for days and a good handful of them get turned into Paleo Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins.

I personally am a big fan of the strawberry + chocolate combo, but if you’d rather skip the chocolate, these will still be great. And of course if you have a variety of berries, feel free to add them all in!

And while we’re talking about doing whatever the hell we want: I won’t judge if you leave the fruit out all together and call these Chocolate Chip Muffins. If doing so, add less coconut flour since you’ll have less moisture in the batter; I’d cut it in half.

Notes

Grain-free baked good tend to mold faster than regular ones, so make sure to refrigerate after a day if you haven’t eaten them all yet.

    You’re just the best. I love every recipe you create. My birthday is next week, and these are absolutely happening for breakfast! Followed by your chocolate cake recipe, followed by your cilantro-lime shrimp. Just bought Paleo Soups and Stews, and I don’t even know where to start I’m so excited. Thank you!

      To be accurate, I bought my MIL Paleo Soups and Stews and then stole it back.

    Love the recipe! Any tips for using frozen strawberries? Usually they just turn out slightly soggy ๐Ÿ™

      Thanks, Amy! I don’t really have an answer, since soggy is because of science ๐Ÿ˜ Freezing them just changes the texture so there’s not much you can do about it! The muffins might get a little pink because of it but should still be good!

    Thank you for another delicious recipe! I make a lot of almond flour muffins and the texture of these is perfect. My husband even liked them and he usually won’t touch what he calls my “faux flour” baked items. Great for breakfast or snack with a cup of coffee.

      You should be able to, but paleo cakes like this tend to be on the dense side. I’ve found they work better as either bundt cakes or smaller layer cakes so they cook all the way through.

    Could I sub agave for honey?

      you should be able to, yes! I can’t guarantee results when I haven’t tried it myself, but am guessing that agave and honey are pretty swappable.

    What would be a good swap for the honey? Babies under 1 canโ€™t have it. Want to make for Motherโ€™s Day treat. Thanx

      Maple syrup? Date syrup? You could possibly use coconut sugar too, but I’m not sure how it would effect the texture. I bet it would be fine!
