Paleo Strawberry Muffins
Grain-Free Strawberry Muffins are a fresh, delicious breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 3 egg
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 cups almond flour finely ground
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1 cup strawberry chopped, fresh
- 1 Tbsp orange zest optional*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tray with muffin liners.
- Add the eggs, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl (the wet ingredients) and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder and sea salt (dry ingredients). Transfer the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries and the orange zest (if adding) until the strawberries are well-distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the strawberry muffin batter to the prepared muffin tin, filling the muffin holes most of the way up.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 28 to 35 minutes, or until the muffin tops are golden brown and the muffins test clean. I bake mine for 30 minutes.
Notes
- If you have an instant-read thermometer, you can check the internal temperature of the muffins. Muffins are considered fully cooked once they have reached an internal temperature of 190 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze these muffins in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- If you don't own a muffin pan, you can use a standard 9" x 5" loaf pan to make a strawberry loaf. Bake at 350 for 50 to 70 minutes, covering the bread pan with foil for half of the bake time.
- *You can also use the zest of one lemon
