These paleo pear muffins are a delicious no-guilt breakfast your whole family will love! Grain free and dairy free, you will feel good serving these healthy muffins.
One of my New Year’s resolutions for my blog is to offer more grain-free and paleo recipes on the blog. Many people who can’t eat gluten have reactions to other grains and feel “stuck” when it comes to baking options.
On reason I love to use almond flour in my recipes is because it adds a protein boost. My easy almond flour muffin recipe is a delicious paleo breakfast idea to try.
This morning my family is enjoying these fresh paleo pear muffins for breakfast.
These homemade paleo muffins are super healthy and use low glycemic coconut sugar as a sweetener so go ahead and have seconds with breakfast :-). My Paleo Carrot Breakfast Muffins are another delicious healthy muffin recipe to try!
Fresh Bosc Pears
When coming up with the fruit to go into these, I used ripe bosc pears that I received from our organic farm box. You can use any type of pear, but I love the firmness of bosc pears. Their honey sweet flavor adds another dimension to these muffins.
The cinnamon flavor adds to the flavor of these muffins for a delicious paleo breakfast option.
You can also use these fruits in this paleo muffin recipe:
- Blueberries, and other berries.
- Apples (go for tart varieties like Granny Smith and Fuji)
- Nuts
- Raisins
- Cranberries, especially around the holidays!
Almond Flour
If you have a local Costco, I highly recommend finding this Honeyville Almond Flour. This almond flour is by far my favorite to bake with. It is ground super fine, so baked goods don’t have the gritty texture. And even better, it is certified
And even better, it is certified gluten-free. (You can also find it on Amazon if you don’t have a Costco in your area.) Anthony’s also makes a very finely ground almond flour.
Coconut Flour
You will love using coconut flour in your homemade muffin recipes. I used Anthony’s Coconut Flour. It is certified gluten-free, and comes in a resealable bag.
How to make paleo muffins from scratch
Simply whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl, then add all of the wet ingredients. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes so the coconut flour absorbs moisture.
Add batter to a paper lined muffin tin.
These pear muffins are low carb muffins that make a great healthy breakfast.

Thank you so much Shirley. I hope you had a wonderful holiday. Hard to think school vacation is almost over and we have to start getting up early again 🙂
You have made a very noble new year’s resolution. I find Paleo diet very difficult, so, I appreciate anyone who follows it. This recipe is so amazing and you make Paleo look very simple. Great job on this recipe.
Thank you Rini. The physician I work with merged his practice with a paleo expert and I have been learning so much about the paleo diet. I definitely am a lot slimmer when I followed it a few months ago.
These muffins look fabulous Sandi, what a great way to start the day! 🙂
