These easy to make paleo muffins are made without refined sugar or dairy and use simple ingredients: almond flour, eggs, powdered peanut butter and chocolate chips. Bake them on the weekend and you’ll have a grab-and-go breakfast alternative during the week. They are both gluten-free and grain-free.

Paleo walnut muffins are terrific for a quick breakfast or a healthy afternoon snack. I enjoy them with a dollop of Fatso creamy MCT peanut butter.

Made with almond flour, these muffins are an easy way to add grain-free baking to your kitchen. You can easily find almond flour in most grocery stores now, but make sure you buy the finely ground variety as it works best for baking.

WHAT IS A PALEO BAKING RECIPE?

In paleo baking you want to replace all white grain flours and refined sugars in the recipe with healthy alternatives. Use flours made with nuts like almonds or cashew ,or flours like coconut, tapioca or arrowroot starch. Replace refined sugar with honey, maple syrup, dates or, one of my favourites, Swerve sweetener made with erythritol.

I’m a huge fan of muffins and one of the first recipes I tried to make when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease was a gluten-free version. My early attempts were not very good, but with perseverance I’m thankful that I can now easily whip up a batch of gluten-free muffins from one of the many recipes on the blog.

In the morning I like to have a muffin with my soy earl grey tea latte. It is a great way to start my day. If you are a muffin fan you’ve come to the right place for inspiration. Today I am sharing a gluten-free, grain-free, dairy and refined-sugar-free muffin recipe. What I didn’t leave out of the muffin was great TASTE by the way!

Here are some gluten-free muffin recipes on the blog:

Sourdough Banana Muffins

Grain-Free Mini Raspberry Muffins

Keto Coffee Cake Muffins

Paleo Pumpkin Muffins

These paleo walnut chocolate chip muffins are moist and delicious. They are gluten and grain-free and are a good low-carb option. Quick and easy to make these paleo muffins are a perfect fit for a simple breakfast or healthy snack.

HOW TO MAKE THE MUFFINS:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a muffin pan with 6 paper liners.
2. Combine almond flour, baking powder, soda and sweetener to a medium bowl and whisk.
3. Add eggs, melted coconut oil, oat milk and peanut butter powder to a medium bowl and use a hand mixer to beat well.
4. Mix the dry ingredients to the wet on low speed until smooth.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Pour batter into the 6 lined paper cups.
7. Sprinkle chopped walnuts on each muffin and bake in oven for 20-25 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and cool.

You should get roughly 6 muffins out of this recipe. You can double or even triple the recipe if you need to feed more people. These paleo muffins are very tasty and if you’re looking for something healthy to snack on, or you need a grab-and-go breakfast option, this recipe is for you.

Walnuts and chocolate chips were used in this recipe but you could easily substitute pecans or use sunflower or pumpkin seeds. Substitute the chocolate chips with dried cranberries, raisins or dried cherries as they all work very well.

Made with just 5 ingredients this refreshing and healthy gluten-free drink is a fruity version of a traditional Indian lassi drink. Traditionally a lassi is made with plain yogurt, sugar, cardamon, orange blossom water and garnished with dried fruits. The lassi I became familiar with and really love is the mango lassi.

When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease, a natural health practitioner told me to add a mango lassi to my daily diet. The combo of buttermilk and orange blossom water is very healing to the gut. I did start making and drinking a mango lassi daily and did start to slowly feel better.

This gluten-free lassi is made with a frozen dragon fruit blend, buttermilk, cardamon, maple syrup and rose water. It is so refreshing and delicious! Chilled drinks are perfect on warm days or anytime as a healthy breakfast smoothie. Rose water is a common ingredient in Middle Eastern and Indian recipes-especially desserts. It has a delicate floral aroma and taste but use sparingly. A little goes a long way. You can find it in the grocery store where you would find Indian or Middle Eastern foods.

Lassi is a popular Indian drink and it is known for its healthy benefits. It aids in digestion and boosts immunity while also providing the body with calcium, Vitamin D and more.

• Crushed pineapple
• Eggs
• Chopped raw pecans

Loaded with banana and pineapple these gluten-free hummingbird donuts are one amazing spring dessert. It is all the deliciousness of the classic hummingbird cake in a round donut form. Hummingbird cake is much like carrot cake, but without the carrots. The donut are moist, lightly sweetened and are incredibly good!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray 2 donut pans with non-stick spray.
3. In a stand mixer add the banana and crushed pineapple and mix.

WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF HUMMINGBIRD CAKE?

Hummingbird cake is a southern dessert originating in Jamaica. In the late 70’s Jamaica was trying to entice more Americans to visit there by highlighting many of their recipes to try. Hummingbird cake or Doctor Bird Cake was one of those. In 1978 Southern Living Magazine printed the recipe for this cake by L.H. Wiggins and to this day it is still one of the most requested recipes. The cake typically has 2-3 layers with ripe bananas, crushed pineapple, cinnamon, pecans and a cream cheese frosting.

This gluten-free donut recipe is very easy to make and is reminiscent of both banana bread and carrot cake. Again no carrots are in recipe but the telltale flavours of nuts and cinnamon are. The donuts are tender, sweet, nutty and just perfect. I topped my donuts with a simple vanilla icing and shredded coconut but you could top them with a cream cheese frosting also.

These gluten-free hummingbird donuts would be impressive enough for dessert when entertaining, a family gathering or just because you are craving donuts.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE THESE DONUTS:

• Stand mixer or hand mixer
• Spatula
• Donut Pans
• Non-Stick Spray
• Measuring Cups
• Piping Bags
• Baking Rack
• Oven Mitts

“There’s nothing better than cake but more cake.” Harry S. Truman

A poppyseed cake that is light and airy and perfectly limey. This gluten-free lime and poppyseed cake is easy to make and is a wonderful tea-time treat, an afternoon snack or just dessert. It is buttery, moist and filled with fresh lime flavour. If you love lime like I do, you need to make this cake!

When most people think of spring baking, they think of lemon flavoured desserts. Instead try lime in the poppyseed cake. Limes are available all year round, but there is something about eating a citrus dessert that makes us think about spring. Warmer temperatures, sunshine and the promise of blooming flowers. Maybe it is just me, but lime and poppyseeds seem like such a good spring pairing. I love the combination of flavours.

This gluten-free lime and poppyseed cake is tangy, dotted with poppyseeds, is moist an fluffy and topped with a simple whipped cream.

Poppyseed Info:

Poppyseeds is the seed from the opium poppy plant. The seeds are widely used whole or ground for baked goods like pastries or bread. Poppyseeds are used in a wide variety of cuisines.

Lime poppyseed cake with a simple whipped cream frosting is so light and fluffy. Perfectly limey and perfect for spring or summer. Want the best lime flavour? I suggest using fresh lime juice and lime zest in this cake.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS CAKE?

• Softened butter
• Monkfruit sweetener
• Eggs
• Sour cream
• Zest and juice from limes
• Poppyseeds
• Gluten-free flour blend (1 to 1)
• Gluten-free baking powder

The lime and poppyseed cake starts with creaming together the butter and sweetener. You will then add in the eggs and beat well. Next is the sour cream and then finally you will add the gluten-free flour, lime zest and poppyseeds. The batter is beat well until creamy.

Pour the batter into a lined square baking pan and bake for 40 minutes. While the cake is baking you will make a lime syrup on the stove. Remove the cake from the oven and cool for about 10 minutes. Pour the syrup over the cake and then let the cake cool completely before adding the whipped cream.

DO POPPYSEEDS HAVE ANY NUTRITIONAL VALUE?

Poppyseeds are very low in cholesterol and sodium. They contain oleic acid which is a fatty aside that helps to lower LDL or bad cholesterol. Like most seeds, poppyseeds are a good source of fibre as well as a good source of B vitamins and folic acid. Poppyseeds contain a good amount of minerals like iron, copper, calcium, potassium and zinc. The seeds cane be cold pressed into poppyseed oil which is rich in Omega 6 and Omega 9 fats. These fats improve overall health and lower the risk of heart disease.

I have always loved a crumb bar and decided this time to make one with blueberry jam. These gluten-free blueberry crumb bars are not overly sweet but are really good and surprisingly easy to make. I think they have the right amount of crumble and YUM!

Made with blueberry jam, a buttery crust, and crumbly topping, these blueberry bars are simple to make and irresistibly delicious. I think this is one of the best gluten-free blueberry crumb bar recipes with an easy press-in crust and tons of blueberry jam.

A perfect dessert for picnics, an afternoon treat or just for dessert, these bars are so good I think your family will have a hard time just eating one. The bars are made with fridge and pantry staples and the recipe comes together in just minutes. The blueberry crumb bars have a shortbread like crust, an abundance of blueberry jam, and a crumbly topping made with rolled oats and almonds.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE BLUEBERRY CRUMB BARS

• Rolled oats
• Bobs Red Mill 1 to 1 gluten-free flour blend
• Lakanto golden sweetener
• cinnamon
• nutmeg
• butter
• sliced almonds
• blueberry jam

Both the crust and the cobbled topping are made with the same mixture to keep things easy and delicious. A blueberry crumb bar that takes only 30 minutes to make and is 100% gluten-free! Perfectly balanced with a jammy filling and enough crunch from the crumble topping. Plus they can easily be made vegan by just substituting vegan butter and thus would satisfy more dietary needs and preferences.

It is hard to decide which part of the bars is better: the buttery crumb topping or the jam filling. Enjoy these blueberry crumb bars with a cup of tea, with a scoop of ice cream on top or packed as a treat on your next hike. Blueberry crumb bars that are gluten-free and made with healthy ingredients like rolled oats, monkfruit, raw almonds and organic blueberry jam.

If you have followed my blog, you will notice I like to share gluten-free baked goods. I want anyone who lives gluten-free to be able to enjoy all the delicious treats that everyone else does.

In this blueberry crumb bar recipe I used organic blueberry jam but you could easily switch up the jam. The crumb base allows you to try different fruit flavours like raspberry, strawberry or peach and any one of those would be amazing. I also used monkfruit rather than white sugar in the recipe because I like to cut back the refined sugar in recipes if I can.

HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE BLUEBERRY CRUMB BARS

1. Make the crumb crust and topping.
2. Press 1/2 the crumb mixture into a square baking pan.
3. Spread the blueberry jam over the crust.
4. Sprinkle the jam with the rest of the crumb mixture.
5. Bake the bars.
6. Let the bars cool completely before cutting them.

Air fry spicy cauliflower wings that will be loved and ate by both meat and non-meat eaters. These wings are crispy and spicy and are great hot or cold. The gluten-free cauliflower wings are tossed in panko style gluten-free breadcrumbs and hot sauce then air-fried. They are suitable for vegans and as always are gluten-free!

These air-fried cauliflower wings are full of flavour and is a recipe I know you will be making over and over again. I love all things spicy and I could eat a whole head of cauliflower prepared this way. If you are trying to get your family to eat more vegetables, these gluten-free air-fried spicy cauliflower wings will definitely be a hit!

WHY IS CAULIFLOWER SO POPULAR?

Cauliflower is a very popular vegetable right now. One of the reasons is it has a similar texture too potatoes, but without all the carbs. You can find cauliflower rice, cauliflower pizza crusts and cauliflower crisps in grocery stores now. With so many people eating low-carb and keto now, cauliflower has become the IT veggie!

When I first got my air-fryer I decided I wanted to make gluten-free cauliflower wings. I had seen so many photos on social media of cauliflower wings that I needed to try them myself. Wow were they good! Now you too can make air-fried spicy cauliflower wings.

I have a Philips XXL Air Fryer and it is one of my favourite small appliance purchases. How does an air fryer work you might ask? An air-fryer cooks food by circulating fast moving air around it. The movement of the air results in crispy food much like you would get if you traditionally fried something in oil. The great thing about an air fryer is that you use little or no oil. You can use no oil but I like to brush a bit of oil on the foods when I air fry them.

IS CAULIFLOWER GOOD FOR YOU?

Cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals like Vitamin C, K and B6 as well as minerals like potassium and manganese. Cauliflower is quite high in fibre, which is a benefit for overall health. Over 3 grams of fibre in every cup. Because cauliflower is a good source of fibre it then slows digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness. It is also a great source of antioxidants which protect cells from inflammation and reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease.

Cauliflower is also high in choline. Choline is an essential nutrient that supports metabolism, brain development and a healthy nervous system. Cauliflower is low in calories and is a great substitute for rice, potatoes or pasta.

These gluten-free air fried spicy cauliflower wings are a simple, delicious an easy to make snack. I love them with a creamy ranch dressing and a bunch of celery sticks. I really do have a hard time not eating the whole batch when I make them. These cauliflower wings are a healthy snack for movie night rather than the typical bowl of popcorn or salty chips.

Curry meatball bowls are the ultimate comfort food for busy weeknights. These bowls are filled with curry meatballs, cauliflower, vermicelli noodles and a creamy flavourful curry sauce. Top with fresh basil, lime juice and crunchy snap peas to make it over-the-top delicious! This gluten-free meal is delicious and your taste buds will love it.

Curry is one of those comfort foods that’s so easy to make and incredibly delicious. It’s prepared with creamy coconut milk, bone broth, curry paste, veggies, tasty meatballs, and noodles. Feel free to switch up the meatballs with crispy tofu if you want. This curry is always on the menu when it’s cold outside and, living in Calgary, our cold winter nights last a long time.

This gluten-free curry bowl has the most flavourful meatballs and veggies in a creamy bone broth. My favourite veggie combo is cauliflower and carrots. You can also use whatever veggies you have on hand. Butternut squash, sweet potato, pumpkin or zucchini would work as well.

WHY I USE COCONUT MILK

I like to use full fat coconut milk in this recipe. Not only is it a great dairy-free alternative, coconut milk can benefit our health as it helps to lower cholesterol and contains MCT (medium-chain triglycerides). MCT helps to stimulate energy. Full fat coconut milk also contains lauric acid which supports the immune system.

The curry meatballs are made with ground chicken, shredded carrots, shallots and flavour from turmeric, curry, ginger and cilantro. Feel free to double the meatball recipe and keep the extra meatballs in the refrigerator for other meals during the week.

This dish incorporates a variety of curry flavours and all with an abundance of crunch and creamy textures. The fresh basil topped chicken meatballs swim in a rich curry sauce with cauliflower.

THE BENEFITS OF TURMERIC

I added extra turmeric to the recipe not only for its brilliant yellow color but also all of its health benefits. Turmeric is high in antioxidants, boosts glucose control in treating diabetes, helps to lower cholesterol and reduces inflammation. It also speeds up wound healing and can increase serotonin levels and so much more.

Switch up from your typical spaghetti and meatballs and make this curry meatballs and vermicelli noodles instead! If you prefer, serve the curry meatballs and sauce over baked spaghetti squash, cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles or any low-carb pasta.

I am beyond excited to share my newest project with you all. I have written a cookbook! 29 gluten-free recipes that are easy to make and tasty. From keto bagels, baked kale chips, instant pot crack chicken to keto vanilla cupcakes.

Low-carb recipes for breakfast, veggies, meals and sweets are all included in my cookbook. I have tried to use ingredients that can be readily found in supermarkets and also to make the instructions as simple as possible.

Cooking without gluten as well as keeping it low-carb is not only easy with this cookbook, the end results will have you making them again and again.

Recipes like:

• Keto Coffee Cake Muffins
• Spaghetti Bolognese
• Slow Cooker Italian Wedding Soup
• Keto Coconut Squares

Low Carb and Delicious proves that with simple ingredients and easy instruction, the result is delicious food with maximum flavor.

This cookbook is guaranteed to make eating low-carb meals or making a low-carb sweet much tastier and easier for you. The instructions are simple and the recipe photos are all drool worthy. By the way I took all the photos myself.

I am hoping when you say “what do I eat while being low-carb?” now means downloading the Low Carb and Delicious Cookbook and making your own delectable and yummy gluten-free food.

This is my debut cookbook with all the recipes gluten-free, low-carb and mostly keto. You will learn how to prepare low-carb versions of some of your favourite dishes without losing the enjoyable flavours you love.

A great low-carb bread recipe is a big help when you are focusing on a keto journey. This low-carb bread is simply so good and is also easy to make. It has no eggy-taste and definitely will hit the right spot to satisfy those bread cravings.

This keto bread is wonderful sliced and lightly toasted with butter on-it has a soft crumb and is comforting like regular bread.

Bread is one of the most missed foods by low-carbers and this gluten-free keto recipe will help you when you are craving bread.

This easy gluten-free keto bread recipe is made with almond flour and coconut flour and is a great bread to have on hand for toasting, low-carb sandwiches or with your favourite bowl of soup.

Even if you are not following a low-carb or keto plan, most of the gluten-free breads on the market have too many carbs in them I think. I enjoy this gluten-free keto bread just as a healthy option and I hope you will give the recipe a try.

TIP: Make sure you are using finely ground almond flour in the recipe.

Here are some handy things to help you make this keto bread.

Hand mixer

Loaf Pan

Parchment Paper

Almond Flour

Coconut Flour

Psyllium husks

Swerve Sweetener

Coconut Oil

TIP: Store low-carb bread in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. It will last at least a week in the fridge-that’s if you don’t eat it right away.
