Grain Free Strawberry Cream Cheese Muffins!
These beautiful gluten & grain free pink muffins burst with fresh strawberry flavor! The creamy cream cheese filling really adds that extra special touch! If
I used granulated maple syrup when creating this recipe to make them paleo friendly! However- I wanted to mention that organic cane sugar will work too. Which is obviously much easier to come by (and is much more cost effective) sugar to bake with. You can also safely use any granulated sugar free sweeteners. I would recommend alluose as I find it works the best & doesn’t have the odd icy after taste that erythritol and xylitol have.
Can the almond flour be subbed out for another flour? I don’t recommend it. While another nut or seed flour like cashew flour would work- I have yet to come across one that is as finely ground as almond flour is. Sunflower seed flour would also potentially work- but that one tends to turn green when mixed with baking powder. The majority of my muffin recipes are nut free- so if nuts are an issue for you I would recommend making one of the other recipes instead. <3
How to make the muffins dairy free: Simply swap out the cream cheese for a dairy free variation. Tofutti is my personal favorite to work with as it performs the same as regular cream cheese. Then of course- opt for a dairy free milk. Any variation will work great.
