Almond Flour Lemon Blueberry Muffins


  • Author: Alicia Cruz
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Description

A light, tender, and incredibly delicious treat with vibrant lemon, juicy blueberries, and a protein-packed base.


Ingredients

  • → 2 cup almond flour
  • → ¼ tsp salt
  • → 2 tbsp monk fruit (optional)
  • → ½ tsp baking powder
  • → 1 lemon (zest of one large lemon)
  • → 3 eggs (large, organic)
  • → ¼ cup Greek Yogurt (plain, nonfat)
  • → ¼ cup maple syrup
  • → ½ cup blueberries (fresh is best)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, salt, baking powder, and monk fruit sweetener (if using).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
  • Fold in the blueberries and lemon zest.
  • Fill each muffin liner about two-thirds of the way full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter. A few small lumps are okay.
  • For a lump-free batter, make sure your eggs and Greek yogurt are at room temperature.
  • You can use any kind of berries you like, such as raspberries or cherries.
  • The muffins are best stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
