Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins (Paleo, Grain Free)

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Get your ingredients together, and you’ll be taking these gluten-free coconut flour blueberry muffins out of the oven in just 25 minutes.

Isn’t snowy weather the best weather for baking? As the snow fell outside my kitchen window, I couldn’t resist whipping up a batch of grain-free coconut flour blueberry muffins to enjoy with my family’s afternoon tea.

Whether or not it’s snowing where you are, these moist and fluffy blueberry muffins are sure to be a perfect treat for any time of day.

Are blueberry muffins good for you?

I’ve used only the healthiest ingredients to ensure that they’re both gluten free and paleo friendly. Juicy blueberries, organic honey, and a touch of vanilla make the muffins deliciously sweet without needing a drop of sugar.

eggs

What ingredients will you need?

Three of the most important ingredients in this recipe are coconut flour, eggs, and baking powder.

To make these muffins gluten free and paleo, I used coconut flour. I recommend this coconut flour by Nutiva. It’s organic and certified gluten-free.

If this is your first time cooking with coconut flour, you should know that it’s very absorbent. That’s why the recipe calls for nine eggs. The eggs are used to bind the ingredients together.

I also stir in a little baking powder with the coconut flour. The baking powder makes the muffins fluffy. I recommend Argo baking powder that’s not only gluten free, but also free from aluminum.

For the coconut milk, I use Native Forest that’s certified gluten-free and canned with non-BPA packaging.

And, of course, the fourth most important ingredient is the blueberries!

Can I use fresh blueberries in muffins?

I always recommend buying organic berries that are free of chemicals and pesticides. For this recipe, I used Driscoll’s organic blueberries.

Did you know that blueberries are high in antioxidants, and said to improve memory function and reduce the effects of aging? Just eating a bowl of fresh blueberries is delightful and so good for you. Adding them to muffins? Awesome.

I love how the juicy blueberries burst with sweetness as you bite into the muffin.

But how many blueberries to put in each muffin?

Some people can be slightly neurotic about this important question. Ahem. Myself included. As you can see, there are lots of juicy berries in every bite of these delights.

Here’s Robert De Niro’s take on how many blueberries should be in each muffin. 😉

How to make them

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.
 
Preheat your oven to 400 ℉. Prepare a muffin pan with paper liners and gather all your ingredients.
 
Melt your butter in a small pan. Then, whisk the melted butter with your eggs, coconut milk, honey, salt, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl.
 
Then mix your coconut flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl.
 
Now add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and stir until just combined. And finally, fold in the blueberries.
 
Then spoon your batter into the muffin cups. And pop them into the oven. Your muffins are ready when a toothpick inserted into the center of each muffin comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for just about 10 minutes and serve warm.

Pro tips and recipe notes

  • Today when I made this recipe, I used jumbo muffin liners and filled them all the way to the top. That yielded 9 muffins. Nicole has used smaller muffin liners in the past which usually yields abut a dozen.
  • What about toppings? How about crushed nuts or cinnamon or coconut flakes? Just sprinkle them on top before baking. Yum! John loves the coconut flakes on top.
  • Here’s a delicious serving suggestion. When the muffins are done, slice one open and grill it in a pan with a little butter. Now that’s a yum, yum, yum!

When’s your favorite muffin time? Breakfast, afternoon tea, or dessert? Anytime is a good time to make your loved ones smile. And these muffins are sure to put a smile on your faces.

Have a happy and healthy week, friends!

    These muffins look absolutely delicious. I love the colours that the blueberries have turned the sponge, they look particularly delectable. I would definitely tuck into one of these with a cup of tea (and that’s saying something as I’m not a big muffin fan usually). Maybe it’s because the ones you can buy never look anywhere near as nice as these look! I’m definitely pinning to try out the recipe.

    Could the butter be replaced with coconut oil? Ive recently become dairy free and im new to gluten free baking,so i want to be sure before i try it

      Hi Marie, I haven’t tried substituting other ingredients for the butter in this recipe. However, I would tend to think that an alternative stick-butter would work better than coconut oil. I’m thinking of a vegan buttery stick. But again, I haven’t tried it myself. I hope this helps. 🙂
