Paleo Sour Cream Coffee Cake Muffins {gluten & grain free with dairy-free option}

May 1, 2018

I’m always looking for new pre-mixed flours for gluten/grain free baking. So, when I came across Thrive Market’s Paleo Flour, I knew that I had to try it!

Let me tell ya, this flour did NOT DISAPPOINT!

 

I whipped these up by just throwing stuff together in a bowl, and I couldn’t believe when they turned out as fluffy as they did! Even my husband who isn’t a fan of muffins, unless they’re chocolate, liked them!

I used Green Valley Organics lactose-free sour cream, but you could substitute greek yogurt or your favorite dairy-free sour cream alternative!

Next time you’re looking to make a breakfast to-go for the week, whip up a batch of these! They will not disappoint!

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, combine egg, oil, vanilla, maple syrup, and sour cream.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the 1 1/4 cups of flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the egg mixture to your dry ingredients and stir to combine. Don't over-mix.
  5. For the crumb topping, combine the ingredients in a food processor until a crumble mixture is formed. You can do this without a food processor and just use a fork. However, it will take a little bit longer and some patience!
  6. In a cupcake pan, fill each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Top each muffin with 2-3 tsp of the crumb topping, pressing it down slightly into the muffin.
  8. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until the centers are completely done.
  9. Enjoy! (TIP: they get even better with a little bit of butter on top of a hot one, directly out of the oven!)
Recipe Notes

*The butter must be fairly cold - not soft or melted. This helps to give you a good crumb on top of the muffin.
