Paleo Morning Glory Muffins- DF/GF
Give your breakfast an extra boost of nutrients with these paleo, utterly delicious 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 ?
That said, these paleo morning glory muffins do make a great breakfast option because they’re well balanced. 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.
If not, rock them for snacks and enjoy!
