In the paleo diet there is no
wheat, gluten, sugar or dairy (you can have dairy if you want too but I choose not to) which means a lot of the things that we eat in our everyday western diet gets chucked out the window. Bread, cereals, cake, biscuits, croissants, pasta, pastries, and even some not so obvious products like sauces and spreads.
But that also means that I don't get any treats, right? That's what I thought until I began to research recipes online and came across a website called Bravo for Paleo. It is run by 20 year old pre-med student Monica Bravo from the US, and she posts all things paleo and has stacks of healthy recipes! I found these blueberry muffins and tried them out and they are officially one of my favorite snacks.
I adjusted the recipe a little by swapping the maple syrup for raw honey, and I also experimented with 90% dark chocolate. You can add anything you like to the muffins (as long as it's healthy of course! ) such as blackberries, banana, nuts and seeds, and you could even serve it with a little double cream if you fancy making a dessert out of them.
Please let me now what you think of them and also check out the Bravo for Paleo website and check out all the other tasty recipes!
Here's the link to the recipe:
