Strawberry Kiwi Muffins (Gluten Free)

April 16, 2018

Strawberries and kiwis are my two favorite fruits and they’re a common flavor combination. I thought it might be interesting to try them together in muffins – blended into the batter. To be honest, the strawberry kiwi flavor is just slightly in the background of these muffins, although I definitely enjoyed them. These muffins are pretty dense and filling made with almond flour, cashew butter, and coconut oil. Try them for a gluten free breakfast on the go or as…

These pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are soft & chewy. They’re also grain and nut free. I originally created this recipe to make pancakes, but that was a major fail. As I mixed everything together, instead of turning out like pancake batter, I had a thick dough. Sooo, I decided to make cookies and add chocolate chips. They’re very lightly sweetened and make a great fall dessert. Once it hits September, I’m all about pumpkin everything. I’m your stereotypical white girl…

I’ve been eating a lot of collagen lately. I mix it in my protein shakes, put it in my coffee, eat Bulletproof collagen protein bars, & now I’m making protein muffins with it! It definitely does have anti-aging benefits – my acne scars have been clearing up and I have younger looking skin. Collagen is also great for your joints & digestive system. It also helps your hair grow and your nails stronger. The brand I use is Vital Proteins.…

Everyone deserves a muffin once in a while, and if it’s a chocolate chip muffin that’s even better! You only live once, so you might as well enjoy it. These chocolate chip muffins are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, corn-free, and soy-free, so you don’t have to sacrifice your health while enjoying the occasional muffin. I use Enjoy Life chocolate chips and Sunbutter. I’ve always been a believer in “paleo treats” and recreations of comfort foods. There’s no reason you should…

I haven’t eaten a rice ball in years. Even before paleo I only ate them on occasion because I would normally just get pizza when I went to the pizzeria. Rice is a food I’ve always loved, but have only eaten it very rarely since starting my paleo lifestyle. My cousin gave me the idea to make a paleo version of Italian style rice balls and I thought that was an awesome idea. If you can’t tolerate dairy, you can…

Blueberry muffins are pretty popular, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never actually seen a strawberry muffin before. I have always preferred strawberries to blueberries, so I thought why not make strawberry muffins instead of the traditional blueberry muffins? I love to have muffins for breakfast because they’re grab and go. The thought of having to cook breakfast in the morning is just daunting to me. I really don’t like to do anything until after I’ve had my coffee, and that…
