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.

How to Make Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins

Okay, let’s get together a batch of these delicious gluten-free blueberry muffins. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda and sea salt. Mix well. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine the eggs, maple syrup, vanilla and coconut oil/ghee.

Combine both mixtures together. Once well incorporated, add the blueberries and slowly mix with a wooden spoon or scraper without beating up the berries!

Fill a muffin pan with liners and fill each liner with batter. Bake in oven for 15–20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out of the muffin without any batter on it.
