These paleo strawberry muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch, or just a healthy snack. They’d be delicious with a little coconut whipped cream on top, too!
A gluten free flour blend like Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 flour is often used in gluten free baking, but this gluten free strawberry muffin recipe is made with a mix of almond flour, coconut flour, and arrowroot flour.
Almond flour (not almond meal), coconut flour, and arrowroot are three of my favorite paleo flours to blend together to create a “normal” wheat flour muffin texture without the gluten.
By doing this I’m able to keep these gluten free muffins grain free and paleo.
Who says gluten free can’t be delicious!
These gluten free strawberry muffins are refined sugar free and sweetened with honey. They’re super healthy and totally guilt free. And best of all, they’re easy to make!

Gluten Free Strawberry Muffins – How To Make
First, chop the strawberries into small bite size pieces. I typically chop them a bit bigger than a blueberry, but really you can have them be whatever size you’d like.
Next, combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk together. The dry ingredients include the almond flour, arrowroot powder, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.
Next, add in the wet ingredients and stir to combine. The wet ingredients include the honey, vanilla, eggs, and avocado oil.
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries being careful not to mash them up as you stir.
Line a muffin pan with parchment paper liners and scoop the batter into the muffin liners evenly – about 3/4 of the way full.
Bake the gluten free strawberry muffins at 350°F for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and they’re golden brown on top.
Let the muffins cool to room temperature before eating and store in a loosely covered but not air tight container for 3-5 days.

Hello!
I was happy to find a Paleo Egg-Free strawberry muffin recipe, but when I read the instructions eggs are mentioned but they aren’t listed in the ingredients list. How many eggs do the recipe call for? Could I substitute it (them) for flax egg(s)? Just came back from strawberry picking and need new yummy recipes to try…
Thank you 😃
Oh for crying out loud! Thank you for pointing this out, Nathalie! It’s my silly recipe card plugin. If I type “eggs” into the measurement catagory it deletes it altogether. I need to be more careful. Anyway, this recipe actually has 3 eggs! I’m so sorry! 🙈 And I haven’t tried this particular recipe with flax eggs, but I’d be surprised if it didn’t work. So sorry about that! Enjoy all those strawberries!
Hi! I want to make these for my great grandma who is gluten free, if I wanted to just use the reds gluten free flour, how much would I use? Or is it gonna throw off the whole recipe? Thank you!
Hi Lexie,
Unfortunately it wouldn’t be a 1:1 substitution and because I’ve never tested this recipe using the gluten free flour I really can’t give you any sort of direction. So sorry!
My son and I made these with strawberries we picked from a local farm. It was easy and we both loved the muffins!
I love that! How fun! Thanks for your feedback on the muffins, Meredith. I really appreciate it and I’m so glad you loved them!
Could I sub coconut flour for something else?
Hi Alli! I wouldn’t recommend it. Coconut flour is pretty unique and needs a certain amount of liquid to rehydrate it. So subbing it would change the recipe too much.
Hi there, I made this recipe and It was delicious however I’m really not a fan of honey. Could I substitute maple syrup for the honey?
Yes! I think that would work just fine!
