Gluten Free Strawberry Muffins are a grain free, paleo muffin recipe that is quick, easy, and delicious. Don't have strawberries? Never fear, blueberries work great - or any other berry you choose. Using fresh or frozen fruit, these easy muffins are great anytime!
A few weeks ago a friend sent a Gluten-Free Muffin recipe. Knowing that our gluten-free daughter-in-law would be visiting, we baked a couple of batches and boy, were they good!
In fact, they were so good, that I did not even have time to take pictures to share with you. I turned around and they were gone - all that were left were the crumbs!
So, since our son and his wife are visiting again this weekend, two more batches were baked. This time, though, wanting to be able to get some pictures before they were eaten, I tucked them in the back of the refrigerator - you know, where everything goes unnoticed and is forgotten!
Biding my time, I finally had my chance - all the fellas were outside working and I pulled the muffins out of the fridge - resisting the temptation to eat one (or two, or, heaven forbid, even three). I have to tell you, the temptation was strong to help myself!
As I type this, I am sitting with a cup of coffee and well, excuse me, I need to go get a gluten free strawberry muffin ;)
Now, back to the recipe...
The original recipe called for blueberries and I love blueberries! But, my freezer did not magically spit them out when I went a looking but it did have strawberries to offer. Substitution, here we come!
No matter, blueberries or strawberries, these were a hit - use what you have, after all, they are gluten-free and delicious.
Make These Strawberry Muffins Healthier...
I made the Gluten-Free Strawberry Muffins using honey and sucanat and both were delicious. If you prefer a sweeter muffin, increase the sweetener as indicated on the recipe.
These strawberry muffins, like almost any muffins, are delicious with breakfast, lunch, dinner, a bowl of soup or just eat them alone as a snack - or if you are like me, splurge and eat as many as you can before anyone sees you!
I don't know about you, but around here, there always seem to be lots of eyes ready to catch those who sneak food! ;)
Strawberry Muffins - Some Variations
- You can substitute any berry in place of the strawberries
- Add some white chocolate chips (so good with strawberry)
- Try adding different spices such as cinnamon

Oooh these look so good, I love the photo with the bite out so you can see all the berries, yum!
Samantha Huang says
Yummm this recipe sounds great and I have all the ingredients already!
Can I make these without the egg whites. I'm going to try and make them vegan friendly so I'll sub the eggs for applesauce but not sure if I can sub the egg whites or just leave them out completely.
