Blueberry muffins are a family favorite and this recipe won't disappoint! This gluten-free blueberry muffins recipe is powered by four superfoods: almonds, eggs, coconut oil and blueberries. It's also absolutely delicious and so easy to make.
Key Ingredients
Almond flour: People love almond meal because it’s a gluten-free flour, and it’s also a great choice for anyone on a low-carbohydrate diet.
Eggs: Eggs are also a great source of protein and can help provide a wealth of important nutrients, including selenium, vitamin B12, phosphorus and riboflavin.
Maple syrup: This natural sweetener does more than make your pancakes taste sweet. It surprisingly has health benefits, including providing certain protective phytochemicals.
Coconut oil: Most of the fats we consume take longer to digest, but medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) found in coconut oil provide the perfect source of energy because they only have to go through a three-step process to be turned into fuel, as opposed to other fats that have to go through a 26-step process.
Blueberries: Often overlooked and overshadowed by more exotic types of berries, blueberries remain one of the most nutritious, antioxidant-rich types of fruit in the world and have been shown to do everything from enhance brain health to keep your heart strong.
