Substitute Honey for Sugar to Make Delicious, Nutrient Dense Muffins
Sugar and honey might seem like the same thing; they’re both sweet and delicious. However, much of their similarities stop there. Firstly, sugar is a highly refined and processed food product. I say food product because it’s arguably not even food- it has no real nutritional value (zero minerals, vitamins, phytonutrients, flavonoids, and other micronutrients).

Honey, on the other hand, comes largely unadulterated from nature. It’s certainly not something we are designed to survive on. It should only be consumed in moderation. Yet, compared to refined sugar, it’s actually real food; it contains nutrients. Bees actually live off this stuff!
While sugar has no redeeming value, our hunter gatherer ancestors may have had honey as a treat every now and then (and probably got stung in the process!). It has SOME nutritional value and isn’t just an industrial food product. If you’re going to make paleo desserts, definitely make sure to use a high quality honey. We have a great Blueberry Muffin recipe for you below, great for snacks or breakfast.
