What Makes This Recipe So Good

This recipe is a total game-changer because it skips the gluten without skipping the joy. You get rich textures, bold flavors, and balanced nutrition all in one.

Shopping List – Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/2 cup tapioca starch
• 1 tsp baking powder (gluten-free)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Mix almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
3. Whisk eggs, honey, coconut oil, and vanilla in a separate bowl until smooth.
4. Combine the wet and dry mixtures, then gently fold in blueberries.
5. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool for 10 minutes before serving—because molten blueberries can be dangerous.

Storage Tips

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat frozen muffins in the oven for 5 minutes at 300°F to revive that just-baked magic.

What’s Great About This

• Fast prep—ready in under 30 minutes.
• Kid-friendly and lunchbox-approved.
• No weird aftertaste like some GF products.
• Contains healthy fats and natural sugars.

What Not to Do

• Don’t overmix—unless you’re into rubbery muffins.
• Don’t skip the liners unless cleaning muffin tins is your hobby.
• Don’t swap almond flour for regular flour—totally different game.

Alternatives

• Swap blueberries for raspberries or chopped strawberries for a flavor twist.
• Use ghee instead of coconut oil for a richer taste.
• Replace honey with monk fruit sweetener for a lower sugar hit.

FAQ

Can I make this without eggs?

Yep. Try replacing each egg with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water).

Are these suitable for diabetics?

With honey or maple syrup, they’re still moderately sweet. Swap for a low glycemic sweetener to keep sugar low.

Can I use frozen berries?

Absolutely. No need to thaw—just fold in gently to avoid smurf-colored batter.

Will this work in a loaf pan?

You can bake as a loaf, but extend the bake time to about 35–40 minutes, checking with a toothpick.

How do I avoid soggy bottoms?

Allow muffins to cool in the pan for only a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Moisture is the enemy here.

My Take

Gluten-free baking doesn’t have to be a compromise. This recipe proves you can skip wheat and still win at the flavor game. It’s quick, easy, and foolproof—unless you ignore everything and wing it, in which case, good luck. But for those who follow along? Expect muffins that disappear faster than you can say “where’s the rest?”
