So if you’re wondering how in the heck that adds up to a Paleo muffin roundup, we don’t blame you—but it’s possible! These 21 breakfast-ready recipes are all about ingredients like nut flours, coconut oil, pureed fruits and veggies, and alternative milks to keep each muffin free of grains, refined sweeteners, and dairy. You’re in for a real treat.

Baking a Paleo muffin often calls for mixing up several different types of flours.

In any other recipe, the peanut butter and zucchini pairing might raise eyebrows. But when it comes to Paleo muffins, the combo makes perfect sense. The veggies add fiber and keep the baked good from getting dry, and the peanut butter provides healthy fats plus some pretty tasty flavor.

One of the best parts about these muffins—apart from how good they taste—is how they can be adapted according to the ingredients you have on hand. Don’t have ghee? Use coconut oil instead.
