Hi doc. I read something a while ago that “put me off” almonds/almond flour, etc. Now I can’t remember what it is! Maybe something to do with omega-6? I see you and many others whom I trust use almond flour quite frequently in recipes, and I have a big bag of it that I’ve been hesitant to use. Could you maybe dispel my fears? Thanks!
Almond flour is a healthy flour but should only be consumed in small amounts. Example: 1-2 cookies made with the flour, amounts over that can be hard on your gut to digest.
Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
The texture may be different but a gluten free flour should work.
Shouldn’t there be milk or water to mix in. I followed your recipe and they are all crumbly. It didn’t become a batter at all.
I”m sorry they didn’t turn out! If you feel like the batter is dry or not formed, add more coconut oil/ghee
Or some goat yogurt
I had the same result. I’m adding almond milk. The recipe as listed is not correct; I bake multi-daily.
I have Leaky Gut, ulcers, and Gerd, CPDD (Calcium Phosphate Distribution Disease) and thyroid disease.
Additionally, I am a vegetarian. Does your Leaky Gut diet and recipes work for the above issues? Are gluten free products OK to consume?
Gluten free products can be ok but it all depends on the state of your gut health. For those issues, I think the GAPS diet would be extremely beneficial for you and would start that:

You shouldn’t bake with honey! http://www.mockingbirdmeadows.com/2013/11/19/reasons-you-should-never-cook-with-honey/
Honey is best raw but still better than most sweeteners, even when heated.
I use coconut sugar and date sugar, and finely cut stevia leaf anywhere a sweetener is used.
Ayurveda says NEVER HEAT HONEY, TURNS TOXIC AND LOSES IT’S NUTRITIONAL VALUE.
I would like to bake some cake with coconut flour. Please tell me some recipe for that
I have a recipe I’m working on that I will post soon!
On another note, how do I eat bone broth? do you really just drink it?
Yes, it actually tastes amazing! Or you can use it as the broth to a soup that you make which is delicious as well! Check out some of my soup recipes.
I have been told that I have inflammation in the lung, my asthma is really bad. My question is …. Is inflammation in the lung the same as inflammation in the gut, or does everything come back to the gut?” will using gluten free ,dairy free, grain free diet, plus supplementation heal inflammation anywhert? or is it different with asthma? is asthma an autoimmune disease too?
Most of the time, things come back to the gut. Addressing inflammation in a systemic manner is always best since inflammation does not affect just one thing. Check this out: https://draxe.com/asthma-natural-remedies/
I have ovarian cysts and fibroids. I’ve read that systemic enzymes are good for this. Do you have any information regarding systemic enzymes and reducing cysts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just found out that my son, who has chrons, is allergic to eggs. I have substituted 1 tbsp of Chia seeds in 3 tbsp of water (let sit for 15 mins) for each egg, but the batter is way undercooked, while the outside is way overcooked… can u please help me with this?
Applesauce may work as a substitute as well but have not tried it in this recipe myself
Dr Axe, thank you for sharing this path of continual journey in health and true wellness with us! Looking forward to your wisdom of gut health and new non-grain & healthy recipes in 2015. Blessings to you and your family.
Ok.. Not sure who actually tested this, but it does not work. Comes out dry and a crumble. Redo
This recipe worked out perfectly for me. My husband and I love them!! I added extra fresh blueberries and the result was totally scrumptious! Thanks for a great recipe!
Had these this morning for breakfast, pretty tasty with my raw milk. My breakfast for the week is set. Thanks for another option, I was getting tired of eggs every morning.
Great recipe Dr Josh! Just made them and they turned out perfect! So happy to surprise Alyn with them tomorrow!!
Awesome! Hope he likes them!
These are fabulous! Tried them out this morning. So delicious. Question… do you have any idea the calorie count per muffin? Thanks for this amazing recipe!
You add each ingredient and find the exact nutrition data and calorie information here: http://nutritiondata.self.com/mynd/myrecipes/welcome?returnto=/mynd/myrecipes
Soaked or sprouted almonds and other nuts digest better so if you could get almond flour from soaked nuts it should be digested better. I like to soak my nuts in filtered water with sea salt for this reason plus they are easier to eat and I like the taste better
Worked well. Just turned purple :)
I just tried these out & had the same problem with the dough being crumbly, so I added a little more coconut oil & some water to make the flour stick. Came out hard/crunchy on top & then mushy in the middle. Bummer
Two comments. When I request to print the recipe it also prints all of the comments and there 12 pages of comments. Is there a way to just print the recipe?
Secondly, I think this is an absolutely brilliant website but it would be nice to see a clean eating category or a sugar free category. At least if there is a sugar free category I can then request gluten free and sugar free and those two together equal clean eating.
Under allergies it would be nice to be able to select diabetes
I just discovered you after watching the Fat Summit, Im from Mexico and Im studying to be a Health Coach and I need more recipes like this. I just baked muffins for the first time. They are just great! thanks
What can you use besides almond flour? My daughter is severely allergic to all nuts.
I just made them with Brown Rice flour and they turned out fine.
I of course changed up this recipe too. 😊 I had only two eggs so I added a big dollop of plain Greek yogurt. Someone mentioned that honey should not be used for baking so I used one individual container of unsweetened applesauce. The muffins turned out moist and yummy. 🙃
Hi doc axe I love your blueberry muffin recipe. But I seem to have s problem with “Flours”. Don’t know if this is permanent or temporary.
Thank you Dr. Axe! Look delicious… Love all of your simple, healthy recipes!
Does anyone know the weight of the almond flour? It can be easily switched to another flour by weight
I am thrilled, the muffins are delicious. I used ghee,also I used 1/2 c of amaranth to 1 1/2 almond flour, they are lite &moist and I didn’t notice the fact that I missed getting the vanilla in. Oh and I used liquid stivea, but only 9 drops. Not sweet but perfect for me.
I tried these. Followed recipe perfectly. They were good but a bit grainy and oily. I used the lesser amount of coconut oil. Any ideas? Has anyone made adjustments that address this? TIA
Can you use frozen blueberries?
These muffins are delicious but I find the batter is too wet. So I either add 1/4,cup of flour, making them now not gluten free or I cut down the eggs to two. I will try adding coconut flour as that absorbs liquid.
I just had the blueberry muffins for breakfast. They were great. I added a little GF oatmeal, org. raisins & dried cranberries, as well. Yummy! Thank you Dr. Axe. I appreciate all the great information you provide us all for better health. I bought your book, “Eat Dirt,” and i am excited to read it :)
I’m wondering if all bakers are from the US or others whose recipes didnt work are using non US measuring? Cups and spoon measurements are different in the US from UK and Australia.
I would like to try this with coconut flour.
I added 4 Tbsp of Organic plain yogurt (Straus) and 1/4 cup organic unsweetened almond milk. Not dairy free but they turn out moist and perfect.
Delicious recipe, Dr. Axe. The muffins turned out great for me (I used ghee in place of coconut oil). I love your healthy recipes and amazingly, my kids love them too! And btw, I drink your green superfood every morning and love that also :) Thank you so much for helping to educate us on how to stay healthy!
