Ingredients

  

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup coconut flour
• 1/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons sliced almonds for topping

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with coconut oil.
• Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
• Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
• Combine wet and dry: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix – the batter should be slightly lumpy.
• Fold in blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter, being careful not to burst them.
• Fill muffin cups: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
• Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
• Cool: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
