Ingredients

Wet ingredients:

  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Coconut milk canned
  • 1/3 cup Maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp Coconut oil melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 12 cup muffin tray with muffin liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, flour blend, baking soda, and salt.
  • Place the milk in a blender and blend until smooth. Add in the eggs, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Continue to blend for about 15 seconds, until combined.
  • Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and using a silicone spatula, gently mix until incorporated. Fold in the blueberries.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in this gluten-free blueberry muffin 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”!
