You don’t have to be a breakfast person to enjoy these paleo, GAPS-friendly dark chocolate triple berry muffins! They taste delicious any time of day!
All about the breakfast things.
It’s no secret: I love breakfast. Or rather should I say, I love breakfast foods. I don’t have to eat them for the first meal of the day, any time will do! I’m regularly feeding my family smoothies or muffins for lunch, and pancakes or waffles for lunch and/or dinner.
In fact, I probably feed my family breakfast for lunch or dinner than I actually do for breakfast…Â
Berry love.
My latest favorite breakfast for whenever I feel like eating it are these paleo and GAPS-friendly dark chocolate triple berry muffins. Though I don’t think I could count them as a meal for my family. I pretty much make a batch and don’t let anyone else eat them. ‘Cause I’m a good mom like that.
Chocolate + berries = …
Of course, y’all already know that chocolate is my love language, so how could I avoid mixing those delicious berries with my favorite food? And whaddya know, berries and chocolate go UH-mazingly together. Especially when combined in a nice, soft, fluffy muffin.
If you’re not a muffin person, or if you’re like me and hate washing out muffin pans, these paleo and GAPS-friendly dark chocolate triple berry muffins also work amazingly in a regular loaf pan. The only changes you’ll have to make are baking it in a greased loaf pan lined with parchment at a higher temperature for a longer time. The end result is equally delicious!
But don’t take my word for it, you should probably make these and find out for yourself.
Dark Chocolate Triple Berry Muffins
Besides having the absolute most perfect muffin texture, these gorgeous little loaves of goodness are free from grain, dairy, and refined sugar. So they’re practically healthy, too. 😉 They fit perfectly into paleo diets, and are safe for those eating a full GAPS diet, as well.
I like to use Costco’s triple berry mix in this recipe, but you can totally mix and match whatever berries you can get your hands on. They can be fresh or frozen, it doesn’t really matter. And of course, if you just want to use one type of berry, you can totally do that, as well.
I usually use my homemade coconut milk in these muffins, but you can use any type of dairy-free milk you want. They’d also be delicious made mocha-style by using coffee for the liquid! Yum…

Simple a delicious…no better combo than berries and chocolate!
Yes! 🙂
Yum! These looks so perfect and fluffy. I need to make this for breakfast!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy them!
Oh Raia, three words: OVER.THE.TOP. Seriously.
Haha! Thanks. 😉
We go through so many bags of frozen berry mix in our house! So perfect for baking!
Haha! I have a hard time not just eating the frozen berries by the handful!
I buy the giant bags of mixed berries too! They’re so handy to have around!
They are! And so tempting to just stick into everything…
Mmm, the honey in there with the choc and berries, totally calling my name. These are so moist and yummy, pure goodness!
Thank you so much! I really love the combo, too. 🙂
I think I wanna whip up a batch right now!
Haha! You should! They’re really so delicious. 🙂
My husband loves anything chocolate and berry! And since I can’t pass on anything chocolate, I’m thinking we’ll need some of these ASAP!
Haha! I hope you both enjoy them!
Chocolate and berries are a match made in heaven. These look so moist and perfect for Spring!
Yes! I love the combo, too. 🙂
Chocolate and berries is a wonderful combination! I love the idea of making this as a loaf.
It’s delicious both ways! I have a harder time controlling myself when I bake it in a loaf. Haha.
These sound great. I live using coconut flour in my baking too.
Thanks, Katie!
These muffins are on my baking plan for this week… they look so delicious and I love that you use almond flour and frozen berries!!! What a wonderful after school snack!
Yay! I hope you enjoy them, Meredith!
These look divine! Can’t wait to try!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy them!
Tried these out today, doubled the batch for freezer meal prep for a baby due next month. I did a loaf plus 5 regular sized muffins with the overflow. Really tasty! Next time though I’m going to try adding some coconut oil and adjusting somehow. They are a little crumbly and I’m not sure how the loaf will slice, but hopefully cleanly!
Update – sliced beautifully! And the finished muffins and bread had such a nice shiny gloss to them, assuming because of all the eggs. They look like baked goods from a Japanese bakery!
I’m so glad you like them! Thanks for letting me know! They are one of my favorite muffins/breads.
