Recipe Makes (Approximate): muffins
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 cup honey
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup almond milk

Other
- 1 cups fresh blueberries
- cane sugar (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325º F and line a muffin tin with paper or parchment liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients, except blueberries, until well combined. Fold wet ingredients into dry and stir until well combined. Fold in blueberries gently.

Recipe Notes
Note 1
To use frozen blueberries, follow these steps:
These paleo blueberry muffins are best within a couple days of baking. Keep in an airtight container for best results, though they will become softer and moister after a couple days, due to the environment in the container. These should freeze well. Note 3
You're absolutely free to skip the sprinkle of cane sugar, or you can try maple syrup. Consider a paleo crumb top, like this recipe. Note 4
I like parchment liners as they are totally foolproof and will not stick to any muffins! Note 5
This recipe has not been tested with any other flour combination or sweetener. If you choose to use a powdered sweetener, like coconut sugar or erythritol, you might want to increase the milk just a bit. However, I cannot guarantee the results of any modifications to this recipe. Note 6
To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. The toothpick should come out clean. After about 20 minutes of baking, test every 5 minutes.
To use frozen blueberries, follow these steps:
- Rinse the blueberries in cold water until the water turns from blue to a very light red or blue.
- After rinsing, dry the blueberries very well with paper towels.
- Fold the blueberries into the batter quickly and gently; don't overmix.
