  3. Step 3: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

Tips & Variations

  • For a dairy-free version, use almond milk or another plant-based milk instead of regular milk.
  • Swap blueberries for raspberries or chopped strawberries for a different berry flavor.
  • Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor.
  • To make the muffins extra fluffy, separate the eggs and whip the whites before folding them in.

Storage

Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them individually wrapped for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?

Regular flour can be used, but the texture and flavor will change. Almond flour gives these muffins a moist, tender crumb that regular flour won’t replicate exactly.

Are these muffins keto-friendly?

These muffins are low in carbs compared to traditional recipes but do contain honey and some natural sugars from blueberries. They may fit into a moderate low-carb diet, but not a strict keto plan.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups almond flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1/4 cup milk

Additional

  • 1 cup blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the leavening agent and salt throughout the flour.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and milk. Stir until the batter is just combined, ensuring a uniform mixture.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the batter to prevent them from breaking and distributing evenly for bursts of flavor in each muffin.
  5. Fill Muffin Liners: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  7. Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving to avoid sogginess and to let flavors set.
