Here are a few tips for making these blueberry muffins with almond flour:
- Make sure to use fine almond flour, as coarser flour may result in denser muffins.
- You can use frozen blueberries in this recipe, but be sure to thaw them first and pat them dry before adding them to the batter to avoid turning the muffins blue.
- To add some extra flavor and nutrition, try stirring in some chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the batter before baking.
- If you prefer sweeter muffins, you can increase the amount of maple syrup or add a spoonful of honey to the batter.
- These muffins will keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or you can freeze them for up to a month. To thaw frozen muffins, simply place them on the counter for a few hours or microwave them for a few seconds.
In conclusion, these blueberry muffins with almond flour are a tasty and healthy option for a breakfast or snack.
