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.

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.
  • Grease a muffin tin or line with muffin cups.

  1. Just made these this morning with diced apples instead of peaches. Still YUMmy! Wondering if you use blanched almond flour for this recipe. I used unblanched almond meal and the batter was dry even with 1 banana and extra applesauce. They still turned out great though!

      1. Thanks, Gina. Almond and coconut flours are easier to deal with in some ways than regular wheat flour, since there’s no gluten to contend with :)

  2. Mmmmmmmm…. they are soooooo delish!!! I added about 1/4 cup of honey and it gave them the perfect amount of sweetness!!! the bananas and peach are great together :)
    My only complaint and this has nothing to do with the recipe, but the muffins totally stuck to my pan. Do you have a secret to not have them stick? i’ve made other muffins before and they didn’t as much :( I think they stuck more becuz these muffins are so moist …???

  3. These are so pretty! I still have yet to try paleo baking but the way you describe it I’m sure I’d enjoy it. I should really try it, I think I have everything I need… I so wish we had a CSA here, I’d be the first to sign up! But I know what you mean about options, jeez I love summer and fall for the produce :) So awesome!

  4. I am in for these muffins too :) I have coconut and hazelnut flour in my pantry right now, and love them both! I need to try almond next.

    1. You could try more applesauce but since it’s unsweetened, I’d add maple syrup or honey in addition otherwise they will be pretty bland.
