Paleo Morning Glory Muffins (dairy-free and gluten-free)

Give your breakfast an extra boost of nutrients with these utterly delicious, paleo morning glory muffins! These muffins are dairy-free, gluten-free of course but loaded with flavor. To be honest, due to the blueberry pecan combination, they’ve become one of my new favorite recipes (though I’m still having an addiction to these blueberry maple tarts…)

So many people I know struggle with what to eat for breakfast- which is why I created this blog posts which features the best breakfast recipes for on the go moms!

 

But the truth is, muffins for breakfast is just not my thing. They aren’t filling enough. When I wake up (after my coffee of course!), I want to EAT. Not inhale something in two bites.

So, while these gluten-free, dairy-free paleo muffins are freaking delicious, I tend to use them more as snacks than anything.

Like most of my muffin recipes, I tend to make them in a big batch and toss them in the freezer for busy days. Buuutttt, I made the mistake of only making one batch last time, eating two while photographing them and then everyone devoured them on the counter in twenty-four hours. Sigh.

And so, the next time I made them I went with making two batches.

How To Use These Paleo Morning Glory Muffins

We use healthy muffins mainly for snacks when we’re out at the park or running around. However, these paleo morning glory muffins are pretty nutrient-dense so they also make a great breakfast option!

There’s some protein, some veggies, and some healthy fats. They rock. So, if muffins are your breakfast thing, pair them with a piece of fruit to keep you full a bit longer.

 

Baking Tips

This healthy muffins recipe is coconut flour-based (learn more wicked benefits of coconut flour), and the coconut flour absorbs liquid. So if possible, let them sit a couple of minutes before you portion them out so that the flour absorbs the liquid.

Also, you’ll want to let these muffins sit in the pan to cool for a good thirty minutes. Any sooner and they not only break apart but they don’t seem cooked. The heat from the pan helps to finish off the baking!
