There’s nothing I love more than biting into a warm, fluffy blueberry muffin! Those bursts of juicy blueberries are the best part, which is why I loaded these muffins with extra berry goodness!
Almond flour muffins are lighter than traditional muffins, making them, might I say, even better than their classic counterpart. They’re gluten-free, and because they’re made with almond milk and coconut oil, they’re also dairy-free!
I picked up all of the ingredients needed to make this muffin recipe at my local Vons in San Diego, including affordable and delicious Open Nature® and O Organics® products.

What You’ll Need
- Open Nature Almond Flour – when making almond flour muffins, you want to use finely ground almond flour. Almond meal has a coarser texture and will not give you the same results.
- Granulated Sugar – natural sugar alternatives, such as erythritol and monkfruit sweetener can be used instead of granulated sugar to make this recipe paleo-friendly. Each of these natural sweeteners contain no calories, no fat and no sugar.
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Ground Cinnamon – optional addition, but I love the flavor it brings to these muffins!
- O Organics Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil
- O Organics Unsweetened Almond Milk
- Vanilla Extract
- O Organics Large Eggs with Omega 3
- Blueberries – fresh or frozen will both work in this recipe. If using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to defrost them, just put them straight from the freezer into the muffin batter!
Step by Step Instructions
- Combine almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and ground cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Measure 1/3 cup coconut oil from its solid form. Add the coconut oil to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the coconut oil for 30 seconds. Whisk in almond milk, eggs and vanilla extract.
- Quick tip! Don’t worry if the coconut oil starts to solidify again, it will melt in the muffins as you bake them!
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Gently stir in fresh or frozen blueberries.
- Spoon the muffin batter into 12 muffin tins, lined with silicone or paper liners. Place in a 350°F oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are lightly browned on top and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the muffin.
- Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes before removing them from the muffin tins.
Whit’s Tips & Tricks
- Substitute erythritol or monkfruit sweetener to lower the calories, sugar and carbs in these muffins. And to make them paleo friendly! Using either of these natural sweeteners in place of granulated sugar will reduce the calories per muffin to 211 and the sugar down to 1 gram. Because these sweeteners have zero net carbs, the total net carbs per muffin is reduced down to 5, when one of these sweeteners is used in place of sugar.
- These muffins are perfect for making ahead of time and eating throughout the week! I do recommend storing the muffins in a resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. When you’re ready to eat one, just pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds to warm it up!
- These muffins can also be frozen for up to 6 months. To defrost, place them in the refrigerator for 24 hours or on the countertop. I recommend popping them in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes or in the microwave for 30 seconds to reheat them, after they’ve been defrosted.
- These muffins are also delicious as mini muffins! Instead of a full-size muffin tin, fill 24 mini muffin tins with the batter. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Continue baking until the tops of the mini muffins are lightly browned and a toothpick stuck in the middle of the muffin comes out clean.
- Feel free to mix it up and use different berries in these muffins! Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, the possibilities are endless! If using a larger berry, like a strawberry, dice it up into pieces about the size of blueberries.
