 Paleo strawberry muffins made with roasted strawberries and coconut flour – a nut-free, gluten-free snack recipe that is perfect for those summer fruits!

Ok, ok, I know I post a lot of muffin recipes. They just make such great on-the-go snacks! And since I have two young kids that need snacks at daycare and school, and both my husband and I work outside our home, on-the-go snacks are key. I just love muffins since you can customize the flavors in endless ways and they freeze so nicely so I can make a huge double or triple batch, freeze a lot of them, and then just take them out when we need them.

All of the previous muffin recipes I have posted here, while still gluten-free and Paleo, have contained nuts. So I know there are some of you that can't send nut-filled baked goods to school or you or your kids have a nut allergy. So this one is just coconut flour. Coconut flour gives the muffins a slightly spongier texture than a nut flour does, but they are still delicious.

(The other muffins I have recipes for are: Cinnamon Roll Muffins and Orange Raspberry Muffins )

The Beauty of Roasting Strawberries

These particular muffins contain roasted strawberries. If you have never roasted strawberries, now is the time to try it! Even if you don't want to make these muffins, try roasting some strawberries and using them as a topping on ice cream or in some coconut milk yogurt. So good! I use a bit of red wine vinegar and salt to really bring out a much deeper, robust flavor of the strawberries, but you could just roast them with a touch of honey or maple syrup as well.

Warning: if you try to text someone or Instagram about something being “nut-free” ALWAYS make sure your autocorrect hasn't changed it to “but-free”. Happens to me every freakin time. 🙂 Not quite sure how “but-free” makes more sense than “nut-free”, but the autocorrects gods have deemed it so.
