Well, the harvest is finally in, and nearly all of the canning and preserving done for the season (somebody say amen!)

In my book, that means it's baking season, and we are wholeheartedly embracing it around here. Over the last week, Izzy has taken to greeting me in the morning by saying "bake muffins now?"

Pin

Yes, baby girl. We'll bake muffins now.

That apron she's wearing is actually my grandmother's. Now that woman could cook, let me tell you! When we bake, I always let Izzy choose which of my aprons she'd like to wear, and then I jury-rig it up to fit her. I keep meaning to make some actual kid-sized aprons. In the meantime, it's kind of a fun game.

Pin

Lately she's been wanting to wear this particular one. So while it makes me miss Gram terribly, it also warms the co*ckles of my heart. Somehow it feels like we've got three generations there, doing a little morning baking.

Those cranberries are like toddler crack.

We've been pretty much rotating between our favorite pumpkin spice muffins, zucchini muffins, and some variation of cranberry nut muffins. I'd been fiddling with several versions of a recipe, when I was at the store the other day and saw that they had Bob's Red Mill Paleo Flour on sale. I didn't even know there was such a thing. I figured it was worth playing around with.

Now, this mix does have some tapioca flour in it, which I usually avoid, because, though technically paleo, it's still a refined starch. But, when it makes for a recipe this easy, with such delightful results - I'm ok with making some exceptions now and then.

Pin

If you're faithfully avoiding tapioca, though, this recipe works just fine by substituting 1 ¼ cups almond flour, and ¼ cup coconut flour, in place of the paleo flour. Hope you enjoy!

    Used Bobs paleo baking mix and a little less of the honey. These are the best paleo muffins I’ve ever made. Thank you.

      Joyce, I'm so delighted that you love them as much as we do! Thank you very much for the kind words...you made my day!

    Delicious! I used the substitutions of almond flour and coconut flour (1/2 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup almond meal, 1/4 cup coconut flour). I also added some orange zest and a little salt, just in case. I wonder if they needed a little more time in the oven, they may be a tad underdone even at 20 min...

      Nina, thank you so much for the feedback about how it worked for you with those substitutions! Super helpful!! With the higher concentration of almond flour, I'm not surprised it might take a little longer. And since ovens tend to be calibrated a bit differently, I think it's always good to go with your instinct when it comes to "done-ness". Thank you again!!

    I will have to look for the Bob's Red Mill Paleo Flour! Thanks for letting us know that they make it! In the mean time I will use the Almond and coconut flours since I have them both in my kitchen pantry. The muffins look fabulous!

    Hi can you use different flour for paleo

    Reply

    • Anna says

      Hi Donna! Absolutely. These still come out very well using 1 1/4 cup almond flour, and 1/4 cup coconut flour, in place of the paleo flour. The texture is a tiny bit more dense, but they're still delightful and I make them this way sometimes! Thanks for asking! = )
