This is otherwise known as paleo blueberry muffin version 3.0. After struggling to create a paleo blueberry muffin recipe that isn’t gritty from almond meal or flavored like coconut from coconut flour, I’m finally happy! This has an amazing texture and flavor and, like a muffin should be, it isn’t too sweet.
Paleo blueberry macadamia nut muffin
Ingredients:
1 cup raw macadamia nuts
4oz. unsweetened applesauce
4 pitted dates, soaked
1/3 cup virgin coconut oil
4 large eggs
2 tbl. organic blue agave or coconut nectar
1 tbl. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup dried blueberries (Trader Joe’s & Steve’s Original both offer dried blueberries with no sugar added)
Method:
Soak dates in enough warm water to completely submerge them for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 375°F. Drain dates and combine all ingredients except blueberries in your food processor and process until smooth. Fold in blueberries and dispense into muffin tins lined with cupcake paper. I used a Silpat silicone baking mold and tray so this made 10 muffins. If using a typical muffin pan use parchment cupcake wrappers if you can find them, regular if you can’t, and you should get 10-12 muffins. Bake muffins at 375°F for 25-30 minutes.
