These Paleo Gingerbread Muffins have all the warm flavors of the classic cookie, but in muffin form. Easy to make and so delicious! Gluten free, dairy free and perfect for breakfast or dessert.
It’s that time of year again for all things gingerbread. My Paleo Gingersnaps are a popular recipe and I wanted to create a muffin with those same flavors. These came out so good and are easy as well. Everything is mixed in one bowl by hand and are ready in under 30 minutes. Although the ingredient list may look a little long, most of it is just spices that you most likely have already.
The Golden Barrel Molasses helps give it the classic gingerbread flavor. Of course the spices are needed, but the molasses adds so much flavor and richness and it’s really an irreplaceable ingredient.
The glaze is good, but it’s not actually necessary. To be honest, I added it mainly for pictures. Of course glaze is always good, but don’t feel like you can’t leave them plain. If you do decide to add it, it’s super simple and mixed up so quickly.
These muffins are so moist! Between the Golden Barrel Coconut Oil and honey they are definitely not dry at all. I also love how they are completely sweetened with honey so there is no refined sugar in them at all. They are also dairy free and gluten free which makes them a healthier option.
I made these with my husband in mind who loves all things gingerbread and he has been enjoying one every morning with his eggs. He has been skipping his fruit for these- seems like a good trade off 🙂
You will love how easy and delicious these Paleo Gingerbread Muffins are! The perfect muffin to make this holiday season!

I found these to be extremely dry and lacking in spices. I did a tester before baking and ended up making a lot of adaptations to avoid tossing expensive ingredients. I don’t anticipate making these again :/

I added additional fresh ginger and a banana. Had no molasses so I added maple syrup.
Moist and yummy

Are you sure it’s 2 cups flour? These needed more liquid & still came out VERy dry. Had to toss them.

Hi Kay- yes, 2 cups almond flour. Did you use 2 cups coconut flour because that would make a big difference. That flour is very unique in the fact that it’s extremely dry and soaks up lots of moisture. This recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons of it. I’m sorry they didn’t turn out for you.

These turned out perfectly! I was a little worried after reading the reviews, but there was no problem at all they are perfectly moist and the spices are perfect.

Hello Jessica,
I am so thankful for your recipes!! I have to eat paleo and your muffin recipes have been a craving savor for me. These ginger muffins hit the “sweet” spot. I have also made the pumpkin muffins. I can’t wait to make more of your recipes : )

These are so delicious! I added 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon (because I couldn’t resist), and substituted half the honey with maple syrup (because I was running low). They are beautifully spiced and have a lovely texture. Will definitely make them again. Thank you for creating and sharing such a fantastic recipe.
