Notes
- Room temperature: For best results in baking, eggs should be at room temperature. If you don't remember to pull the eggs from the fridge ahead of time, submerge them in a bowl of warm (not hot) water for 5 minutes.
- Frozen blueberries: If you're using frozen blueberries, don't thaw them. They are easier to mix into the batter without turning it blue, when frozen.
- Don't over mix: Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients quickly, using a few strokes until just combined. Overmixing can cause tough, unevenly baked muffins.
- Batter: The muffin batter will be thick, so you shouldn't have any problems with blueberries sinking to the bottom.
- Grease the muffin pan: You can use paper liners, but the muffins will still stick to the liners.
- Storage: Keep the muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
- To Freeze: Freeze these almond flour muffins individually on a tray until firm, then pack them into a freezer bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw the muffins in the fridge, uncovered. If you like warm muffins, heat them in the microwave.
