These Paleo Lemon Blueberry Muffins are so moist and flavour. The batter has a zesty lemon juice kick and is loaded with juicy blueberries. These are great grain free muffins to enjoy as a quick healthy snack or for breakfast on the go. They are Grain Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Specific Carbohydrate Diet Legal and Paleo.
Over the past few months I have become a big fan of muffins. They are easy to make, freeze really well and make for a great snack to enjoy on the go.
This is my favourite muffin recipe to date. These Paleo Lemon and Blueberry Muffins are moist and full of so much flavour. The lemon provides a great burst of tart flavour which is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of honey and juicy blueberries. Unlike the dry and cakey muffins from Starbucks, almond flour helps these muffins remain moist for up to a week after baking. I actually did a nutrition comparison between a Starbucks Skinny Blueberry Muffin and these Lemon Blueberry Muffins, these muffins have 110 fewer calories and 1/5th as much sugar, what a win!
These muffins are incredibly easy to make and are ready in under 30 minutes. I like making a batch on Sunday night to enjoy for breakfast throughout the week. I recommend storing them in the fridge to extend their shelf life and ensure they don’t dry out. These muffins will last for up to 2 months in the freezer.

Can we use frozen blueberries?
thank you!
you definitely can!
For health reasons my family and I have switched to a grain free diet. This muffin recipe is amazing!! Everyone loves it (even the pick eaters!)
Very moist with good flavor but a little bland for us. Next time I think I’ll use maple syrup instead of honey and more lemon zest.
Delicious!! I used maple syrup in place of honey since that is what I had, and added a dot of almond extract. All 3 kids and my husband devoured them!
Looks very good. I want to make this but how many cups can it make or how big muffin cup did you use? Thanks!
These muffins are delicious … easy to make and very light
