Muffins. There can never be enough muffin recipes in the world. And I’m about to throw one more stellar recipe into the mix.

I’m not sure if you all know this, but in my house, muffins are kind of a big deal. It might sound silly, but we are a foodie family and muffins rank in the top 5 of our favorite things to chow down on.

Why these Paleo muffins are so good

Perfect for on the go! Muffins are this lovely, compact food that can morph into basically whatever you want them to be. They can be breakfast. Or a can be portable snack. Or they can be a great addition to a snacky lunch or even dessert. The possible ways and times to eat muffins are endless and my family deeply embraces this challenge. 

Easy to make. Mixed up in one bowl and into the oven they go! It will take you about 10 minutes to get these banana blueberry muffins ready for baking.

Grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and naturally sweetened.

Soft and moist. You’ll be shocked that they are Paleo muffins since they have such a light texture.

Tips for the best paleo banana blueberry muffin

  • Make sure your blueberries are dry before adding them to the batter. Paleo baking is a delicate balance, so if your blueberries are really wet, the added moisture could throw off the texture of these blueberry banana muffins.
  • Use a banana that is ripe. In fact, or best results, the riper the banana, the better! You’ll know it is perfect if your banana is brown and spotty. Why? As bananas ripen they get sweeter and softer, making them perfect for baking!
  • Let the muffins cool for at least 20 minutes. I know it’ll be tempting to eat one straight from the oven, but these banana blueberry muffins will continue to bake even after they are removed from the oven and will firm up as they sit.
  • Use parchment paper muffin liners. I love this brand and find they are the best for easy peeling muffin liners. Another great (no waste) option is silicone muffin liners.
  • Do not swap out or sub ingredients. I try to make recipes that are adaptable, but Paleo baking is a science and swapping out flours or other ingredients will totally change the end result.
  • Fill muffin compartments 3/4 of the way full.

How to store these Paleo muffins

An airtight container in your refrigerator is going to keep these banana blueberry muffins fresher longer and prevent molding.

Or, you can freeze these muffins. They freeze really well, so they are great for stocking up your freezer with. Throw these Paleo muffins in a large freezer bag or freezer-safe large container and into the freezer they go.

To defrost, I like to take them out of the freezer and leave them on the counter to thaw overnight.

    Coconut flour is tricky, as you can’t just sub 1:1 with other flours. You can certainly try it, though you may have to add a little more flour to prevent the batter from being too runny

    Yes. The bananas are a key ingredient in these muffins. They add a lot of sweetness and should not be left out

    Do you use silicon muffin liners or paper? Any brand recs for either? I hate chemically tasting muffins and know you wouldn’t tolerate that either! :). Thanks for the great recipes!

      I use both. If I use paper, I make sure to buy the unbleached uncolored ones so that no dye seeps into my baked goods. As for silicon liners, I bought mine off of Amazon years ago and honestly cant remember the brand. They have been awesome for 3 years now though!
