Naturally sweetened with a touch of honey and maple syrup, these muffins offer a delightful depth of flavor. Honey adds a floral sweetness, while maple syrup brings a warm, buttery touch.

Double the flavor boost. These muffins boast both classic vanilla and a hint of amazing almond extract. Don’t skip the almond extract – it adds a delightful depth that elevates the blueberry flavor.

This recipe features almond flour for a light and fluffy texture, but feel free to substitute almond meal! Almond meal adds a touch more texture due to the presence of the almond skin.  Both work great, so use what you have on hand.

What’s the Difference Between Almond Flour and Almond Meal

Almond flour and almond meal are both derived from ground whole almonds, but there are some key differences:

• Skin: Almond flour is made from blanched almonds, which have had the skins removed. This results in a finer texture and a lighter color (almost white) for the flour. Almond meal, on the other hand, is typically made from unpeeled almonds, leaving the skins on. This gives it a coarser texture and a flecked brown color.
• Flavor: Due to the presence of the skin, almond meal can have a slightly nuttier and even a touch bitterer flavor compared to the milder taste of almond flour.
• Nutrition: Because it contains almond skin, almond meal has a slightly higher content of fiber, minerals, and some antioxidants.

In terms of substitution, they can often be used interchangeably in recipes, though the texture may be slightly different. However, if a very fine texture is crucial (like for delicate pastries), almond flour is preferred. Almond meal might be a better choice if you want a more rustic texture or a slightly nuttier flavor in your baked goods.

How to Make Healthy Blueberry Muffins

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Then add the almond flour and baking soda to a large bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.

Next, add the eggs to a separate bowl. Whisk the eggs.

Then add the vanilla extract, almond extract, and maple syrup to the eggs.

Add the melted coconut oil, and whisk the wet ingredients together.

Then pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Stir the muffin batter to thoroughly combine and then fold in the fresh blueberries.

How Long to Bake Homemade Healthy Blueberry Muffins

Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. Parchment paper liners are my all-time favorite. 

For perfectly portioned almond blueberry muffins, use a ¼-cup measuring cup to scoop the batter into your muffin tin.

Bake these healthy almond flour blueberry muffins in your preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them – you want a light golden brown color on top. To ensure they’re perfectly done, insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, they’re ready. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before eating.
