Paleo and grain-free baking.
My husband and I have been eating more Paleo to help with his migraines and autoimmune inflammation and my thyroid and adrenal issues. Paleo simply means gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and no refined sugar.
One of the most popular recipes on the blog is my easy gluten-free banana blueberry muffins. I have been baking a lot of Paleo muffins in a variety of flavor combinations and I knew that I wanted to create a Paleo version of my gluten-free banana blueberry muffins too.
Paleo muffins are a favorite of my family. Seriously, I am baking Paleo muffins every other day. My husband and my kids love them and eat them so quickly that they usually don’t last but one day. They are my husband’s go to for breakfast, snacks, and dessert.
I love how easy they are to make and that they are a healthier version of your traditional gluten-free muffin. They are made with simple and healthy ingredients like almond flour, bananas, blueberries, and honey.
If you are new to grain-free baking, there are a few differences to traditional gluten-free baking with rice flour. Paleo and grain-free baking is different than gluten-free baking, especially the texture. The texture of almond flour is much denser than baking with rice flour. Even though it’s different from your traditional gluten-free baking, it’s a tasty different.
These Paleo banana blueberry muffins are super easy to make. A one bowl wonder, you don’t even need a mixer. You can quickly whip up these super moist Paleo blueberry banana muffins with just a fork and a spoon. Really, it’s that easy! I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and I do.

These were great!! I needed a low fat / low sugar recipe to use up some bananas, and all of the almond meal I have leftover from making almond milk. The consistency was perfect and they were delicious! I did increase the blueberries to one full cup!

Tam says
Hi! I have made this recipe many times and it always came out really great!. The texture and the sweetness are perfect. But I have some questions, why we have to add the baking soda with the mashed banana and let it sit for 1-2 mins before adding other ingredients? and is it will be the same if I don’t add the baking soda to the mashed banana but instead adding it at the same time as other dry ingredients? Thank you so much for the recipe, my family and I really enjoy it!

Thank you so much Tam for the awesome 5-star recipe review. I am so happy that you enjoy the Paleo muffins. Almond flour is a dense flour and the chemical reaction between the bananas and baking soda helps give the muffins a lift. You are so welcome, I love sharing what I make for my family. Thanks again!
