March Muffin Madness delivers again! Another fantastic gluten-free muffin recipe. Paleo Blueberry Muffins from Tessa The Domestic Diva

Tessa describes these muffins as "clean-eating paleo blueberry muffin bursting with fresh berry flavor and a tender, vanilla-scented crumb." She says "these naturally gluten free blueberry muffins will be loved by your whole family, and the recipe has a dairy free option!"

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

Liquids:

  • 1/2 cup kefir or buttermilk, OR any plain or vanilla yogurt (dairy free options work great!0
  • 3/4 cup palm sugar or other granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter softened coconut oil, or palm shortening
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract, optional
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice

Dry:

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour you could also use more almond flour, tapioca, or 1/4 cup coconut flour, but it will change the end product
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cup blueberries fresh. (If using frozen, additional baking time needed, approximately 5 minutes.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F degrees and grease a 12 muffin tin.
  2. In the jar of a blender, blend all liquid ingredients until smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients (minus the blueberries)
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the blueberries with a couple of tablespoons of the flour mixture until they are evenly coated (this helps them float in the batter as opposed to sinking).
  5. Fold the liquid ingredients into the dry until mixed. ***Take stock of the batter. With different brands of almond flour and cassava flour out there, there CAN be variability in liquids absorbed. If it seems overly thin after a couple of minutes (flour needs brief time to 'drink' some of the liquid), then add a bit of any of the above flours until a typical muffin/cake batter is achieved.
  6. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  7. Distribute batter to muffin cups, filling 2/3 of the way.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops are set. ***if you are using frozen blueberries, this will effect the final cooking time, more like 25 minutes instead of 20!
