Grain-free Blueberry Muffins 1.0.
I have loved all things blueberry for as long as I can remember. In fact, maybe I should ask my mom, as I am sure there was some point when I didn't like blueberries... but if there was a day, I don't want to remember!
August in New England means blueberries. Usually I get a bunch from some bushes we have on the land, but this year, either someone was picking them, or they just didn't have a good year, since I couldn't find nearly any! Lucky for us there are groceries stores that sell frozen blueberries and other farms to buy them from at the local farmers market!
These muffins were muffin #2 on my recent muffin kick. I am really excited about the flavor and 85% of the texture, but they seem to be a little on the crumbly side. I am going to work on this, and then edit the recipe, but I couldn't wait to share! They are just too delicious. The flavor is perfectly balanced.
Grain-free Blueberry Muffins 1.0.
makes 18 muffins
3/4 cup organic coconut flour – sifted
1/2 cup blanched almond flour – sifted
1/2 cup raw honey
1/2 cup organic coconut oil, softened
1/2 tsp unrefined sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 real eggs
1 - 1½ cup raw whole milk
juice of half a lemon
zest of one lemon
1 cup ground walnuts
2 cup frozen or fresh (large) blueberries
sugar crystals for sprinkling - optional
To make your blueberry muffins:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees convection. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, whisk coconut oil until glossy, white and homogenous. Add raw honey and whisk until combined. Add room temperature eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest.
3. Add coconut flour, almond flour, soda, salt and walnuts to wet ingredients, sifting the flours into the bowl. Combine with a spatula.
4. Add milk, and combine again. Gently fold in blueberries.
5. With a tablespoon, add batter to muffin tins until 3/4 full. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown on top. Let cool for a few minutes, then move muffins to a wire rack to cool.
If you don't anticipate eating these within a week (stored in the refridgerator) then freeze them! They'll keep for about 6 months, that is, if you don't eat them sooner ;)
