Paleo pear muffins from the best paleo muffin recipe I’ve ever made! This pear muffin recipe is also grain free, refined sugar free, gluten free and dairy free. Learning how to eat gluten free has never been so easy.
These paleo pear muffins are a delicious no-guilt breakfast your whole family will love! 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.
One reason I love to use almond flour in my recipes is because it adds a protein boost. My easy paleo breakfast muffins are another delicious paleo breakfast idea to try.
This morning, my family is enjoying fresh paleo pear muffins for breakfast.
What Makes This Pear Muffin Recipe Healthy
These paleo pear muffins are super healthy. The paleo muffin recipe uses 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 Pear 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 the paleo pear muffins batter to a paper lined muffin tin.
How long do you bake paleo muffins for?
You will want to bake your paleo muffins for 20-25 minutes at 350F degrees. To make sure they are done, insert a toothpick and if it comes up with no crumbs or batter, your muffins are ready!
This paleo muffin recipe is also low carb!

January 5, 2019 at 11:50 amI loved the flavour of these muffins, but i cooked mine for an hour and they were still really moist inside, almost like porridge. Any ideas what happened? I followed the recipe except for the xantan gum, which I substituted with physsilum husk.
I broke them up, sprinkled with roasted almonds and topped with wiped cream, it made for a delicious desert, but I would really like for them to be more muffiny next time. I would really appreciate any tip you could give.

January 5, 2019 at 3:52 pmHi Kristel, I am glad you liked these muffins, but I am puzzled at the long cook time. Could you please tell me which brands of coconut flour and milk you used? I haven’t had this happen so I just want to double check…sometimes canned milks can do this, especially coconut.

May 27, 2018 at 5:24 amHi, I don’t use Xanthan Gum – is it necessary in this recipe or is there something I could use instead?
Thanks
Sandi Gaertner
May 29, 2018 at 2:41 pmHi Rochelle, I would say to try guar gum instead? If you can’t use gums, I am not sure. The coconut flour doesn’t hold together very well without something

Sandi Gaertner
March 4, 2018 at 10:58 pmIt definitely keeps things fun when you can switch around the fruit in this muffin recipe.

March 4, 2018 at 11:49 amThis is exactly the kind of muffin recipe that I have been looking for! While, I don’t need to go grain free, I like the idea of using almond flour for the protein boost! I even have some pears in my fridge!
Sandi Gaertner
March 4, 2018 at 10:58 pmI love that the protein boost can balance out the sugars 🙂

January 5, 2015 at 9:50 pmYou 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.
Sandi Gaertner
January 6, 2015 at 8:53 amThank 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.
