These paleo peach coconut almond flour muffins are a delicious and healthy snack.

I can’t even remember what it was like to have a choice about what to make for lunch, dinner or snacks in the dead of winter with barely anything in season, because for the past 2 months I’ve been hopping from one CSA inundation to the next.

Lately, peaches. Lots of them.

I had grand plans of using a bunch in this recipe but then I got to dicing and mixing it all together and it really only called for a whole whopping 1 peach.

Delicious recipe? Yes. But not really what I had in mind for making a dent in the 15 or so fuzzy things on my counter.

Peach coconut and almond flour muffins

These are another addition to the growing paleo baked goods list I’ve got going over here. I can’t seem to stop myself. I’ve been grinding almonds every week and haven’t touched regular flour in over a month. The crazy thing is, I don’t miss it at all. I actually prefer the heartier texture of almond and coconut flours lately. My wallet would like you to know it begs to differ.

I’m finding these concoctions to be so much more filling and satisfying too. And taste wise, they’re full of flavor and super moist. It’s hard to miss wheat based stuff when the alternatives are getting such high marks all around. And now I feel like an Olympic sports announcer.

Yesterday, I attempted deadlifts in our WOD for the first time in over a year since throwing my back out (wow, crappy pictures) badly last summer doing them. With proper form and 4 weeks of CrossFit under my belt, I maxed out at 150 pounds. Nothing crazy, but 75 pounds heavier than the weight I used when I hurt myself last year. I feel strong. It might sound kind of ridiculous to say these muffins assisted in that lift, but the more I move towards this paleo way of eating, the more progress I see in my fitness.

And if progress means peach and coconut muffins, I’m in.

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup peeled and diced peaches, plus more for topping

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.
  • Grease a muffin tin or line with muffin cups.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together all wet ingredients in a separate bowl.

  1. Looks delicious! My friend has been talking up her paleo diet, and this would be a great recipe for me to try :)

  2. Nice! I am out of peaches right now but have mangoes… think I will try with one of them. Thanks! Sharing on my FB page.

  3. Great recipe. Love the peaches and no sugar added! I like using coconut and almond flour a lot too. I used up what I had, really need to get some more.

  4. I love realistic Paleo recipes like this! I have that more often with recipes, thinking they will use loads of fruit and then only needing one peach or one apple or something :)

  5. Yum! These would be the perfect snack or breakfast. Who am I kidding? I would eat these all day! Thanks for the recipe!
