These paleo strawberry muffins are quick and easy to put together. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack—a healthy muffin recipe made with almond flour that’s gluten-free, grain-free, with a dairy-free option.

Paleo strawberry muffin with fresh strawberries

I love strawberry season. Fresh strawberries usually don’t last more than a day or two at my house. But on the rare occasion that I have extra strawberries, I like to bake with them. Today I had more than enough to make these strawberry paleo muffins. And I had enough left to make arugula strawberry salad for lunch.

Paleo Strawberry Muffins

Fresh homegrown strawberries really make these muffins special. The flavor of the strawberries is perfect with the almond, honey, and vanilla. These strawberry muffins are perfectly simple and delicious.

The thicker consistency of the almond flour batter keeps the strawberries from sinking to the bottom so you get strawberries in every bite. The superfine blanched almond flour also has a milder flavor so it doesn’t overpower the flavor of the strawberries.

I have been using a combination of ghee and coconut oil lately and I really like the flavor this adds. Of course, you can also make these muffins with all ghee, or with all coconut oil for a completely dairy-free option.

These gluten-free, grain-free strawberry paleo muffins are perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack — a great way to use fresh strawberries this season. They also freeze well so you can bake a batch on the weekend and have strawberry muffins all week. Perfect if you go strawberry picking!

Must haves for baking almond flour muffins

I use these for baking all of my paleo muffins. They give the best results when baking with almond flour.

  • Silicone baking cups or muffin liners – these are the best I’ve found to prevent sticking when baking with grain-free flours
  • Cookie scoop – using a scoop makes it easy to fill the muffin cups evenly
  • Superfine almond flour – make sure it’s blanched for the best flavor and texture

    Yummm! I just took my kids strawberry picking and needed a dessert – this is it!! Of course, I’m always the one to ask this but any thoughts on substituting coconut flour? Or even all-purpose? (I try to stay away from it but I’m a cake baker/decorator so it’s in the house) My boys have tree nut allergies so the almond flour is a no go. Thanks for a great looking strawberry recipe!!! 🙂

      Fresh picked strawberries are the best! I haven’t tried substituting other flours in this recipe. I would start with the Banana Blackberry Muffin recipe that’s made with coconut flour and substitute chopped strawberries for the blackberries. Here’s the link https://cookeatpaleo.com/paleo-banana-blackberry-muffins/

    LOVED these!! I did replace the ghee with an additional T of coconut oil but followed everything else exactly. I even weighted the almond flour because I do trust grams much more than cups. Very yummy and I will absolutely make again (and again)…

      Yes, you can substitute blueberries. If you’re new to baking with almond flour, measuring it can be a little tricky. Here’s a link to how I measure it – https://cookeatpaleo.com/how-to-measure-almond-flour/ Good luck with your baking. 🙂

    I just made these. I’ve only been doing Paleo for about a week so the almond flour still has a weird taste and texture. The muffins were the perfect sweetness for breakfast. Hopefully I’ll get rid of the expectation of wheat flour when eating now…you know, a fine crumb without added chewiness or flavor. Also, the color of the muffins: gray. So much to change from a SAD!

      Hi Kestrel, congrats on starting paleo! It does take a little while to get the hang of baking with different flours, but the muffins should definitely not be gray! What kind of almond flour did you use?

    WOW. I can’t wait to try all your other muffin recipes. My only substitution is that I used 1 cup of oat flour and 1 cup of almond meal. The lemon juice is a smart addition (totally makes sense). I will make these again, fabulous and delicious! Thank you for your testing and perfecting your recipes and sharing them 🙂

    I made these muffins this morning and they were delicious! I highly recommend this recipe. One note, I used Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour. This is different than Almond meal. In my experience, blanched almond flour does much better in Paleo baking recipes than Almond meal.

    I look forward to more recipes!

    Yummy! My son said “This is the best thing I’ve ever tasted!”. I’m really bad at following recipes, I just threw everything in the ingredients list into the Bellini. It looked a bit runny so I added 2 tablespoons of coconut flour and they needed up tasting like strawberry shortcake. So good. I’m saving this recipe so I can make it again and again!

      Hi Sarah, almond flour and coconut flour have very different properties so they can’t be substituted 1:1 for each other in recipes. If you prefer coconut flour, try the banana blackberry or lemon poppy muffins.

    Thank you for the recipe. I made these with some modifications based on what I had in hand and they turned out delicious. I wanted to use up some home-dehydrated strawberries and so used them but threw in a small peach, chopped. I also used 1/4 + 1/8 cup coconut sugar + 2 TBSP honey for the sweetener.

      Hi Brooke, I always freeze them the same day (my family will eat them all if I leave them out :-)) If you don’t freeze them right away, you could store them in the fridge a day or two and rewarm before serving—the toaster oven is perfect for this!
