Ingredients
Dry
- 2 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
Fold in
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Whisk the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a second bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, almond milk, vanilla, and lemon zest.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and fold until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Scoop the batter evenly into the 12 lined cups.
- Bake 22 to 25 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes in the tin. They firm up as they cool.
Tip: Frozen blueberries work too. Fold them in straight from the freezer so they don't bleed into the batter.
Dad jokeI tried to tell a joke about these muffins, but it came out a little crumby.
