These low carb and paleo Apple Muffins with Bacon are so fluffy, moist, delicious, and they are a perfect make-ahead breakfast! 

Paleo Apple Bacon Muffins

Guys, these muffins! I got this idea after making my apple bacon pancakes, and how much I loved them. The two flavors go together so well and I just love that combination of sweet and savory.

Paleo Apple Muffins with Bacon Recipe

While pancakes are amazing, I wanted something that I can make ahead of time since mornings are when I’m the most productive and I’d rather spend that time getting some work done than in the kitchen. Enter: these Paleo Apple Muffins with Bacon!

A Great Make-Ahead Breakfast or Snack!

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, and I’ve been just toasting them in the oven in the morning and eating them with eggs. SO delicious. They are even better with a slather of grass-fed butter on them, and it’s a great go-to snack as well.

This recipe makes 6 large muffins, but you can double the recipe for a standard 12-muffin pan. I actually highly recommend you do with these Paleo Apple Muffins because you won’t regret it if you do. There’s something so delightful when apple and bacon comes together, and I’m pretty sure we all need more of it in our lives… Right? Just go make these if you agree!

    These are so easy to make and they come out moist and delicious! I did wind up substituting sweet rice flour for the coconut flour and 2/3 of the oil was sunflower since I was nearly out of coconut oil. I’m happy the substitutions caused no problem with the final result.

      Yay! SO glad it worked out with the changes.

    Yes! I just take them out of the freezer the night before eating them and then toast them before eating. It freezes really well!
