35 Gluten-Free Muffin Recipes, including options for grain-free, sugar-free, paleo, and/or vegan recipes.

35 Gluten-Free Muffin Recipes, including options for grain-free, sugar-free, paleo, and/or vegan recipes.

The weirdest thing happened a few weeks ago. I got muffin anxiety.

Not in the sense that I was nervous to bake them, but in the sense that I felt as though I needed to bake ALLOFTHEM.  I happen to be of the belief that everyone needs a bounty of healthy muffin recipes, because nothing says comfort like sinking your teeth into a warm, sweet, cake-like substance. And even better if that scrumptious morsel happens to be good for you.

After I calmed my muffin-induced heart palpitations, I decided I would simply employ the good work of my fellow bloggers and round up the muffin troops to give you an arsenal of options.

Here, you will find options for muffins that are gluten-free, naturally sweetened, paleo, and/or vegan. You will find recipes in this roundup that use oat flour, almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, and gluten-free all purpose flour. Many of the recipes are sweetened with honey, pure maple syrup, fruit, or coconut sugar. Do note you can replace cane sugar in any recipe with coconut sugar in a 1:1 substitution, in order to make the recipe naturally sweetened.

I’ve made the muffin search process easy by listing out the flour and sweetener ingredients for each recipe. This way, you can know before you click what you’re getting into. Yeeeeer welcome. So sit back, relax, and enjoy these creative, healthful, absolutely delicious muffs that will take your muffin-ing experience to a higher level.
