Blueberry Ginger Muffins (gluten and grain free, paleo)

Jump to Recipe

Blueberry Ginger Muffins (gluten and grain free, paleo muffins) | savorylotus.com

I love baked goods.  I do.  Making muffins in the morning with my little one makes me happy.  Today we made these yummy morsels: Blueberry Ginger Muffins.

It’s not just the baking that makes me happy.  It’s the fact that I GET to make muffins with my little one in the morning.  I am feeling so blessed and grateful to have the life that I am living.

For many years, I worked and worked  to provide a good life for my oldest daughter.  Being a single mom, it wasn’t easy doing it by myself.  While she was at school, I was away from home making money to pay the bills.  Life was good, but I craved to be home.  I craved to have more time to be in my garden.  I craved to have more time to be creative in the kitchen.  And I craved to have more time with my family and friends.

Fast forward several years, and here I am, working from home, gardening like crazy, making ridiculous amounts of delicious food for my blog and for my family.  It’s like a dream come true.  So how did I get here?

It’s been a long road for sure.  But there came a day when I decided to live the life that I wanted.  There is security and safety in a steady job and a having full benefits.  I was raised to work hard and to provide for my family.  But what do you do when you find yourself 38 years old, getting ready to have your second baby, feeling burned out and tired from work work work?

After the birth of my second baby, I made the decision to make my family a priority.  No amount of money or health care coverage was worth missing out on the precious years of watching my kids grown up.  With my first, I was lucky enough  to be home for almost 6 years.  I wanted that for my second as well.  I gave up my benefited position at work as a registered nurse and started this blog.  It was a total leap of faith.

So what do I do now?  I still work VERY part-time as an RN in Labor and Delivery and Postpartum at a local hospital- about 6 days a month.  The rest of the time, I work on creating good content for Savory Lotus, take photos, edit photos, cook, clean, bake, clean, and attempt to navigate the social media realm of food blogging.  The rest of the time, I am at home living my life.  I get to wake up with my kids.  I get to pull weeds in the garden.  I get to be there when my almost 18 year old needs me.  And I get to make muffins early in the morning with my sweet little Pearl.

I can’t say that it is always easy.  Food blogging isn’t always consistent in the money that you make.  But I’m happy.  I’m inspired.  And I am living the life that I love.  So thank you all for your continued support.  Without you, there would be no Savory Lotus.  And thank you to my amazing partner and friend, Alexei.  Your continues support, encouragement, and love have made all of this possible.  I love you!

WOW!  I wasn’t expecting to write so much.  But there you are.  My story.  And I am grateful for it all.  Here’s that awesome muffin recipe I was talking about.  Loaded with sweet blueberries, slightly spiced with ginger, and perfectly moist and fluffy.  Pearl insisted that we make mini muffins today, but you can make them regular sized as well.  Enjoy!

Here’s to living the life that you dream about!

xo,

Katja

    These look awesome, thanks! One question: I can handle coconut flour and milk because they are mild, but I’m not a big coconut fan and it seems like the shredded coconut might be a bit much flavor-wise for me. Can I substitute something else or leave it out all together?

      You could just leave it out. No problem. 🙂

      Hi, Alexis

      I would defrost the berries and drain them. Frozen berries have more moisture and can make muffins a bit more wet. 🙂

    This is the first baked item I have tried since going paleo and I cooked these in silicone muffin forms in my NuWave in 15 minutes. I was blown away by the subtle blend of flavors and the unexpected moistness. I did a couple substitutes tho’… I only had 2 eggs so I used a last bit of a plantain (not quite a 1/4 cup so I added a little applesauce to finish that measurment) and all I had were frozen blueberries so I thawed and drained them. It all worked out beautifully.
    Thank u ever so much for the fabulous recipe. I have shared this with my cousin and girlfriend and they r also excited to try them.

    Only 5 Tbs of coconut flour? No other flour needed?

      Yes, that is correct. Coconut flour expands like nobody’s business. Hope you enjoy! 🙂

    Just made these, and they’re a little wet. I cooked them for 24 minutes, and toothpick was clean when I pulled them out of the oven. It seems that every time I try a recipe with coconut oil, this happens! What am I doing wrong?!?

      Hi, Kendall- How are you measuring your oil? Do you measure it after you melt it? You get a better measurement this way if it is melted and liquid. Also, some coconut flours are more absorbent than others. Which brand are you using? You may need to add a titch more coconut flour.

      Hi, Angie! In the first line of the instructions, it says to preheat to 350’F. That’s pretty much my go to temp for muffins. Hope you enjoy! 🙂
