1. Grain Free Apple Walnut Muffins
Apples and walnuts go well together, this has been proven time and time again in hundreds of recipes. These muffins grab flavors from both of these ingredients, as well as health benefits, and are made with Paleo ingredients so nothing will slow you down. There’s even a maple butter frosting that doesn’t use any dairy, instead relying on coconut butter for a delicious taste without the need for a cow. The use of cashew flour is something you don’t see very often, and to get the texture of these muffins just right she’s using some flax meal, which adds fiber and omega-3s.

You can tell she’s taken care to make this a fully Paleo recipe, and there aren’t any items in this that detract from your progress. Coconut flour is used for the flour, adding even more fiber to the already bright picture.

3. Apple Pie Muffins with Granola Crumble
You’ll want to add these apple pie muffins to your Rolodex of delicious Paleo recipes. They feature a granola crumble which other apple muffin recipes just don’t dare to create. This makes it feel like you’re eating regular food, since granola isn’t something you’re supposed to be having. That is of course unless it’s made in the Paleo way, with only wholesome ingredients. For the granola crumble Taylor is using Apple Pie Paleo Krunch, a pre-made cereal that is Paleo friendly. It means you won’t have to fuss with the crumble and can get these done sooner.

They get a little help from evaporated cane juice, and there’s ghee in these muffins to make them taste buttery and delicious.
