Paleo Strawberry Skillet Muffin

If you love to bake, you have to try baking in a skillet with this paleo strawberry skillet muffin! Skillet baking is so easy and it's easier to clean than a muffin pan. It's also less time consuming to use a skillet since you don't have to meticulously shape cookies on a pan on put muffin batter in individual tins.

Allergen/Lifestyle Friendly

This is a paleo skillet muffin, which means it's gluten free, grain free, soy free, and dairy free. Because it uses cassava flour, it's also nut free! Perfect to add a sweet treat for school lunches. There is no cane sugar, but it is instead sweetened by coconut sugar. This recipe would NOT be considered Whole30 due to not only the sugar, but because it's considered SWYPO. If you want to know the difference between paleo and Whole30, read this post about it. There are many similarities but they are in fact, quite different.

Tools

For this recipe, you'll need a blender and a cast iron skillet. I use a ninja blender, which I love for it's high speed setting and versatility.

For cast irons, I love Lodge cast irons, just be sure to season them correctly!

How to Make a Paleo Strawberry Skillet Muffin

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Take some coconut oil and grease the skillet on the bottom and sides.

Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix them thoroughly.

In a blender, place the sugar, oil, eggs, vinegar and vanilla extract in a blender and blend together.

Toppings

The best topping for this, in my opinion, is whipped cream and fresh strawberries! There is a dairy free whipped cream available from So Delicious, and many recipes online for a diy one. If dairy isn't a problem, make homemade whipped cream sweetened with honey for a primal version.

Another good topping is chocolate chips! Enjoy Life makes my most favorite chocolate chips, as they are the closest thing to paleo chips, without having to make your own! They only have 3 ingredients and are allergen friendly. The muffin is delicious on its own (and that's how I usually have it), but if you're serving this to a friend or at an event, a garnish goes a long way in presentation.
