Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone muffin liners or parchment paper cups to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together thoroughly to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them while distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • For the freshest flavor, use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing • Gently fold blueberries to prevent breaking and maintain their beautiful whole form • Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense muffins • Use fresh, plump blueberries for the best taste and texture • If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter • Check muffins a few minutes early to prevent overcooking • Allow muffins to cool completely to help them set and develop their full flavor • For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of applesauce to the wet ingredients • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying out
