Paleo Strawberry Shortcake Muffins

strawberry muffins

I have recently stocked up on organic strawberries while they are in season, and I try to bake with things that are at their peak because that’s when they are the most nutritious. I also find it difficult to find organic strawberries at a decent price for very long, so you gotta get ’em while you can! I made some strawberry rhubarb crumble the other day which was so good and could easily be made with just strawberries.

We had book club this week, and I had to figure out what I was going to bring to a picnic. So, mini strawberry shortcake muffins it was! Everyone wanted the recipe, so here you have it.

I adapted the recipe from the Make it Paleo Cookbook.
