These paleo blueberry muffins are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. They are a family favorite and a perfect way to start the day!

Easy Paleo Blueberry Muffins

These blueberry paleo muffins are one of my favorite breakfasts. They fill the kitchen with the smell of blueberries, almonds, lemon, and honey. There’s nothing better than a warm homemade blueberry muffin and a (dairy-free) cappuccino on a sunny morning.

This paleo blueberry muffin recipe is easy enough to make when you’re still half asleep. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have them on the table in less than 30 minutes. I love to bake them on weekend mornings.

Almond flour blueberry muffins

I use almond flour for these paleo muffins because I like the flavor of almonds with the blueberries. Also, the almond flour batter is thick enough to keep all the blueberries from sinking to the bottom.

These paleo blueberry muffins are one of my favorite breakfasts. This recipe is gluten-free, grain-free, and easy to make ahead and freeze for the week. | cookeatpaleo.com/blueberry-paleo-muffins-recipeThis post contains some affiliate links for your convenience. You can read my full disclosure policy here.

It’s important to use very finely ground blanched almond flour (or superfine like this one or this one) to get the delicate flavor and texture of traditional blueberry muffins. And since almond flour can be a little tricky to work with, measuring it by weight is the most accurate (here’s how I measure it).

How to make paleo blueberry muffins

This almond flour blueberry muffin recipe uses the traditional muffin method of mixing quick breads. Basically you mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately, then mix them together.

Here are the steps in the muffin method:

  1. Whisk the eggs, honey, ghee or coconut oil, lemon juice, and vanilla together in a medium bowl.
  2. Stir together the almond flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt in another bowl. Make sure everything is well combined and there are no clumps in the almond flour.
  3. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture until just combined. Fold in the fruit, blueberries, in this case.
  4. Scoop the batter into your muffin tin and bake immediately.

How to store almond flour muffins

Like most grain-free baked goods, these almond flour blueberry muffins are best eaten the day they are made. You can freeze any muffins that are left over.

It’s easy to reheat the frozen muffins in the oven or toaster oven. Put them in a cold oven, and set it to 300 degrees. The muffins should be thawed and warmed through in 15-20 minutes.

Paleo blueberry muffins are a healthy addition to your breakfast routine!

    Very good. Not too sweet, nice flavor. VERY filling. I agree with using the finest almond flour you can buy. I only had Bob’s Red Mill almond meal on hand, so there were little pieces of almond that weren’t completely ground up in the muffins, but they were still delicious!

          • Lisa

            July 28, 2015 at 4:57 pm

            Hi Jan, almond flour has very different properties from other flours, so that type of flour would not work as a substitute.

    I made these today and wanted to post because people are always asking about substitutions. Instead of the eggs, I used 1 cup of sugarless pumpkin butter. You could also use unsweetened applesauce or apple butter. I also used butter, not ghee, and melted it. I omitted blueberries and only used maybe 2T of the honey.

    They turned out great! They were a little bit wet, even after cooking a little longer than stated. So maybe a little less pumpkin butter next time? But the taste was great and they were very filling! Thanks!

    This muffins are great, my husband loves them – I love them to but I follow LCHF diet and can’t have honey. Could i substitute honey with Sukrin or Swerve? If yes, how much should i use instead of 1/4 cup of honey? Thank you.

    I made these using frozen blueberries. I reserved about 2T of the almond flour and rolled berries in that to keep from bursting during baking. Worked perfectly. I will probably add some lemon zest next time. Oh, I forgot the vanilla. Turned out great without and will probably omit next time. Will definitely make again!

    7/2019: This has become my favorite Paleo blueberry muffin recipe! A good source of protein and a great breakfast addition. I do like mine a little rustic, so added 1/4 cup chopped pecans and 1/4 tsp allspice for a subtle spice flavor and they came out fine. I used a silicone muffin pan and they still brown nicely. The other thing I changed, to get an even distribution of blueberries, is to fold only half the berries into the batter, then lightly press the remainder on the tops. Thank you! Will start to follow your other recipes!
