Almond flour muffins are a delicious, gluten-free, and dairy-free alternative to traditional muffins. They are moist, flavorful, and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even as a dessert. This recipe is simple and quick to make, ensuring you can enjoy a healthy treat in no time.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar or another sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (optional)
Directions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with coconut oil.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4: Combine and Add Blueberries
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If using blueberries, gently fold them into the batter.
Step 5: Fill Muffin Tin and Bake
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- You can substitute other fruits such as raspberries or chopped apples if you prefer.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
