Almond Flour Muffins - These amazing bakery-style chocolate chip muffins are grain, gluten, and dairy-free!  Perfect for a delicious Paleo Breakfast!

Slightly crusty on the outside and crumbly, cakey centers.

These muffins are best served and eaten the day they are made but will keep in an airtight container for a day.

Can You Bake With Almond Flour?

  • Yes, creating grain-free and gluten-free baked goods with almond flour is a delicious alternative to regular flour.  You just need good recipes.

Can I Substitute Almond Flour For Regular Flour?

  • Yes, generally speaking, it is a 1:1 exchange, but it depends on the recipe.  The recipe will also need a variation of the binding agents or eggs as almond flour recipes usually require more of this.

What Almond Flour Is The Best?

  • For baked goods, blanched almond flour creates the fluffiest, best textured baked goods.

    There are a lot of people with Celiac or grain sensitivity, as well as dairy allergies. This would be a great treat (who doesn't love muffins?) !

    Just found out that my cousin has celiac disease, so this will be perfect for her! And you can't go wrong with chocolate chips!
