I have a dirty chai latte lover at home. And I love it. This man is a total sucker for crafted coffee beverages, those that are a bit sweet and a bit spicy (which, coincidentally, is his wife’s personality description).
This guy I am talking about is, of course, my hubby and he’ll drink these dirty chai tea lattes like they are water. I mean, he totally knows these drinks are packed with empty calories and that the ingredients used to prepare them are not the best for you (to say the least)…but still he can’t resist them. So to stay in shape and not flush his hard workouts down the toilet, he’ll choose to treat himself to one of these latte “cheats” only a few times a week.
I love how he’s figured out a way to stay on top of his goals without giving up what makes him happy. He’ll be really consistent with his training, really good with his diet, and then indulge on his favorite drink. It’s the little things in life, right?
In light of his love for this dirty, dirty drink (wink wink), I decided to make him a Paleo-approved treat that would taste just like it. The only difference being that these treats are not in drink-form and are way better for you.
So, to get ready for my Paleo goodies I went grocery shopping, I prepped the ingredients and tools I needed, I put on my favorite apron and turned on some fun tunes. In less than an hour, I had the most delicious and scrumptious dirty chai muffins ever. I could not wait for my hubby to get home to try them. That night, I cooked dinner for us and for dessert, he had not one, not two, but three of these delicious muffins all by himself. My job was done.
Definitely give this Dirty Chai Paleo Muffins with Cinnamon Sugar Whipped Cream recipe a try. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

Hi! What temperature should these be done at?
Hi there! They should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. I just added this to the recipe…thanks for letting me know it was missing! 🙂
Do you think you could sub arrowroot for the tapioca start?
Yes, I think it should work just fine! 🙂
Hi! This looks beautiful. Have you tried baking it as a cake?
Hi Eva! Thank you!!! No, I haven’t tried making these as a cake…that’s a fantastic idea though! You’d probably need to bake it for a little longer at the same temperature. 🙂 If you try it, let me know how it goes! XO
