Frequently asked questions
Absolutely! Fresh or frozen blueberries work great in this recipe. You don’t need to thaw frozen berries before using them. Measure right from frozen and you’re good to go! If you have the option, grab some wild blueberries are smaller than cultivated blueberries and the flavor tends to be more intense.
Allow your muffins to cool in their molds for about five minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the muffins have cooled, wrap them with plastic wrap. They’ll keep about two days on the counter. You can store them in the fridge for up to one week.
Yes indeed, you can freeze them. Place the muffins in a freezer bag and freeze for up to two months. Allow the muffins to thaw at room temperature. Be careful not to overheat the muffins while thawing or they will get hard.
Yes. You need 1.5 cups of flour. If you decide to use only all-purpose flour, or you plan on skipping the the coconut flour because you don’t have any on hand, you can replace it with any other flour, but you will need to use 2 eggs instead of 4 eggs. If the batter is a bit thick because of using only 2 eggs, add 1/4 more milk.
Recipe notes and tips
- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe.
- Use cupcake liners to keep the muffins from sticking to the pan. If you don’t have cupcake liners make sure you grease the inside of the muffin molds.
- Always start with the lowest cooking time recommended and watch for doneness from there.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 2-5 minutes, and then place the muffins on a cooling rack. This helps your muffins from getting what is called in baking circles, “soggy bottoms”!

Can I use almond milk instead of canned coconut milk?
Yes should be fine
What would the baking time be for mini muffins?
Depends on the muffins and oven. I say check then in 15 minutes? best way to check doneness is to insert toothpick until it comes out clean
What type of gluten free flour blend did you use?
I would have to check. It says gluten-free on it but I didn’t check
Was there xanthan gum in the GF AP flour you used? Thanks. 🙂
I don’t believe so.
I made these with my son. They were delicious, very light and not too sweet! Will definitely be making them again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
So glad you guys loved it. Thanks
Can these be made with egg replacer?
Hi there. I am really not sure. I would have to test it out myself first
Hi Rena,
How long can they last in the refrigerator?
Wrap or store in a container for 5-7 days
Hi! I wanted to substitute the gluten free flour, I seen a comment where you can use oat flour, can I just use double the almond flour or coconut flour or does it have to be a third different flour? Thank you!
You can double up on the almond flour, use only 2 tbsp of oil. If you add more coconut flour you will need more eggs
These look fabulous. Sadly, we can’t have almonds, does anyone think another flour or more of one already in the recipe would work?
Just use any other flour
What can be substituted for the gluten free flour blend?
Hi, Yen. Any flour. So all-purpose, whole wheat, or oat flour.
My family and I, love it! So delicious!! Thanks for the amazing recipe.
Can I use donuts molds instead muffins molds?
Thanks in advance
Thanks, Jenny. Yes you can
So delicious! I’m assuming the almond flour goes in at the same time as the other flours; but turned out great for me!
So glad you liked it!
These are YUMMY & NOT AT ALL DRY (sorry, I hate using the “M” adjective)!!
I topped them with some fine shredded coconut flakes, for a smidge of crunchy texture and also made a dozen “mini” muffins, that are are great pop-in-your-mouth snack!
The coconut sounds amazing! Glad you liked it.
Hi. Can I use one type of flour, instead of 3 types (Only use ap flour or almond flour for example)
Hi there. Yes, you can. But keep in mind if you arent using coconut flour, for example, you will need two eggs. if you skip the almond flour 3 eggs. if using any other flour 1 egg is enough. But I really would need to test this out with fewer eggs since the wet consistency will be less. So you need to make up for it with a bit of almond milk till you have the right consistency. Watch the video to have an idea.
