This is a lovely light, moist strawberry muffin made from almond flour. The flavour combination of strawberry and vanilla make this a great summer muffin.
Perhaps for an afternoon tea or something to eat whilst you watch the tennis as Wimbledon. Or you can just munch the lot in one evening as we did under the guise of taste testing!
MY LATEST VIDEOS
I stepped away from my beloved coconut flour and make muffins from another low carb flour for a change! These strawberry muffins are pretty to look at and tasty to eat.
I used honey for the initial batch which made the muffin very moist but was not carb friendly. So another batch was made with a sugar substitute which was just as delicious. I used almond flour that is basically ground blanched almonds. The muffin batter will be very runny, but don’t panic..it cooks well into a moist muffin!
I will have to try and make these with my beloved coconut flour but if you are going to try this I would recommend that you increase the eggs and add a dash of extra water to keep the mixture as moist as this recipe.

July 14, 2018 at 1:15 pmI have just made these but completely forgot to add the water. They were still lovely and moist so when I make them again I don’t know whether to add the water or not.

July 15, 2018 at 1:44 pmLeave the water out if the mixture is fine without it.

May 15, 2018 at 9:28 pmI made these and substituted sweetener for honey and water for coconut milk. They turned out so good! I’m so glad that I can still have my ‘sweets’ after going on a low carb lifestyle change!

May 10, 2018 at 5:13 pmCan I just use regular sugar instead of a substitute?

March 27, 2018 at 9:12 amJust made for the first time. My batter hasn’t to be scooped into the muffin tins and I filled each liner up to almost the top but still got 12 muffins not six. Are they supposed to be jumbo muffins and not cupcake size? Just wondering so I can get a true idea on the caloric information. All that being said —-they are SOOOOOO good!
Angela Coleby
March 27, 2018 at 9:25 amI might have to remake this to see what quantities I get!.

July 13, 2018 at 10:22 pmI just made these and got 12 full cupcake size “muffins” out of it too. They’re just cooling out of the oven. I can’t wait to try them with a cup of coffee.

January 23, 2018 at 6:21 pmcould pillsbury gluten free flour be used? I have a child with severe sensory issues and he struggles with almond flour and coconut anything 😉 Thank you!
Angela Coleby
January 23, 2018 at 8:25 pmI can’t see why not!
Kristen
January 12, 2018 at 10:10 pmThank you so much for this recipe! My husband and I are on our 2nd week of the keto diet and I’m missing my muffins and carbs! Your muffins hit the spot!!! They are absolutely delicious.

January 6, 2018 at 11:19 amCan I use soy flour instead? That’s all I have
Angela Coleby
January 6, 2018 at 7:34 pmI’ve never baked with soy flour so can’t speculate
Kristy
October 15, 2017 at 11:29 amIf using xylitol, how much would I use? Still 1/4 c?
Angela Coleby
October 15, 2017 at 4:35 pmYes, still 1/4 cup.

August 7, 2017 at 4:35 pmWhen making these I used stivea for the sugar substitute and my batter was not runny and the muffin it’s self came out dry. Any suggestions on how to change that?
Angela Coleby
August 7, 2017 at 4:37 pmPerhaps another egg and some coconut milk?
Amanda
July 17, 2017 at 12:31 amI subbed coconut oil for butter and your honey for your sweetener . . . I didn’t think so but could these be the reason I got a very slack mixture? All of my berries sunk to the bottom, probably the result of having a slack mix. Also, I got 12 full muffins out of the recipe. You mentioned getting 6, yes? Any suggestions?
Angela Coleby
July 17, 2017 at 7:24 pmIt might be the oil as many years ago I did bake these with honey and they were fine and fluffy. Perhaps use a bit more almond flour next time?
Angelina
June 22, 2017 at 9:59 amGreat recipe. Thank you for sharing it. I made a couple adjustments you may want to try…I used 1/8cup water and 1/8cup of lemon juice and right before putting them in the oven, I put about 1 tsp of cream cheese in the middle of each. Had to bake a few minutes longer but they are awesome. Kinda tastes like a little shortcake. Also, I was able to make 12 with your recipe. Do you happen to know the nutritional info for each with 12?
Angela Coleby
June 22, 2017 at 1:40 pmGlad you enjoyed them.

April 5, 2017 at 10:23 pmHi there. The water and egg quantities aren’t included in the ingredients list. Fingers crossed that my guessing works but I wanted to let you know!

April 5, 2017 at 10:32 pmHi Sara, I just updated the recipe format for this and these did not come across (I was distracted by a cat wanting to be spun in my office chair. I need to close the door!). The recipe is updated and many thanks for letting me know!

March 29, 2015 at 11:05 pmWhy are these muffins considered Paleo when they have dairy in them?

June 11, 2014 at 11:27 amWhat can I substitute for honey?
Divalicious
June 11, 2014 at 10:19 pmIf you don’t want to use another liquid sweetner, such as Agave, perhaps use Erthyritol or Xylitol but use some extra water to keep the mixture moist.

May 9, 2014 at 4:29 pmAll I have is coconut flour at the moment…can I use it instead?
Divalicious
May 9, 2014 at 7:37 pmYes, you can BUT use a lot less coconut flour than the almond, and add some more liquid. If you need me to redo this for you with coconut flour, let me know and I’ll put something together for you.
Kim
May 10, 2014 at 12:41 amThat would be wonderful! I’m very new to using these alternative flours, but I’m learning 🙂
Divalicious
May 11, 2014 at 4:54 pmUse the following recipe http://divaliciousrecipesinthecity.com/2013/03/27/rosewater-and-pistachio-muffin-coconut-flour/ and take out the rosewater and pistachios. Replace them with the vanilla and strawberries and you should have a tasty muffin. When I first started using coconut flour, it took me a while to get used it too! Hope it works out okay for you!
