Paleo Lemon Blueberry Muffins
Description
Paleo Lemon Blueberry Muffins use almond meal and coconut flour as the base, giving them a rich, nutty flavor and a moist texture. They incorporate baking soda for leavening and eggs to bind. The wet ingredients include maple syrup for sweetness, melted coconut oil for moisture, vanilla extract for aromatic depth, and lemon juice along with fresh lemon zest to infuse bright, fresh citrus flavor throughout the batter.
Gently folding in blueberries distributes bursts of tart sweetness and juicy texture evenly in the muffins. The batter is baked at 350°F until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, ensuring a tender but cooked through crumb. The combination results in muffins that are moist with just enough density typical of paleo baked goods.
These muffins make a convenient breakfast or snack that pairs well with tea or coffee. Their citrus and berry profile offers a refreshing contrast to the richer almond meal base. The recipe is suitable for grain-free or paleo eating styles.
