What is almond flour?

Almond flour is a typical replacement for wheat flour to bake gluten-free muffins, cakes, and cookies.

It is made from blanched almonds that are ground into a very fine powder. That’s why almond flour often has a slightly nutty and sweet flavor.

As almond flour consists of almonds, it also provides a lot more health benefits than wheat flour. It is rich in healthy fats, fiber, and minerals, such as vitamin E and magnesium.

This is why I love to create delicious dessert recipes that use almond flour, like this almond flour chocolate chip cookie recipe or this almond flour banana muffin recipe.

Ingredients

To make these almond flour blueberry muffins, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Almond flour: You can either buy or make your own almond flour. I like to buy it as it is usually finer than homemade almond flour. But both work in this recipe.
Blueberries: Use either fresh or frozen blueberries to make these gluten-free blueberry muffins.
Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt makes these almond flour muffins fluffy and delicious. So don’t omit it!
Ground cinnamon: Ground cinnamon adds some flavor to the dough and makes these muffins super tasty!
Honey: I used honey as sweetener, but feel free to use maple syrup if you prefer it.
Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract is important to make the dough taste great, so don’t skip it.
Almond milk: I used almond milk for these muffins, but you can use any other type of milk.
Eggs: Use regular medium-sized eggs for this recipe.
Baking soda: Baking soda is used to make the muffins rise.

Tips & Notes

Making these almond flour blueberry muffins is super easy, but I recommend reading through the following tips before making them.

Don’t substitute any of the ingredients. When you make one of my dinner recipes, you’ll see that they are a lot more flexible and ingredients can be easily substituted. This doesn’t apply to baking recipes. It’s always best to stick to the original recipe when you make cakes, muffins, and cookies. So please don’t substitute any of the ingredients you find in this recipe.
Keep an eye on the muffins while they are in the oven. Your oven might bake them more quickly or take more time to bake them fully, so always be sure to keep an eye on the muffins when you bake them. They are perfect when they are golden brown.
Let the muffins cool before enjoying them. If you don’t let them cool off, they might be too soft or they might break apart. So give them some time to cool before enjoying them.

Variations

Chocolate chips: Want to bake gluten-free chocolate chip muffins? Then use chocolate chips instead of blueberries and bake delicious almond flour chocolate chip muffins.
Raisins: If you love raisins, I recommend using them instead of the blueberries and adding a little extra cinnamon.
Nuts: And if you love nuts, feel free to add them to the almond flour blueberry muffins or to another variation of this recipe.
