    Paleo Chocolate Cranberry Muffins

    February 9, 2015 Updated: April 12, 2021 by Lisa Wells / 1 Comment

    These paleo chocolate cranberry muffins are a perfect gluten-free, grain-free treat --- for breakfast, a snack, or as a dessert with coconut whipped cream.

    So this weekend I accidentally thawed a whole bag of cranberries (don't ask) --- and I've been experimenting with new cranberry recipes. These paleo chocolate cranberry muffins are my favorite so far. I love how the dark chocolate brownie-like muffins contrast with the tart cranberries.

    Chocolate and cranberries may seem like a strange combination, but somehow it works. It's sort of like a less sweet version of chocolate and raspberries. Of course, if unsweetened cranberries are too tart for you, you can always substitute dried cranberries. I like the organic dried cranberries that are sweetened with apple juice.

    These paleo chocolate muffins are a perfect treat for Valentine's Day --- for breakfast, a snack, or as a dessert with some coconut whipped cream. I may even make a quick cranberry sauce with the rest of the berries to go with them.
