Dry Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour

• 1/3 cup coconut flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2 cups of blueberries

WET INGREDIENTS

• 4 eggs

• 1/3  maple syrup ( If you have a sweet tooth go for 2/3 cup)

• 1/3 cup coconut oil

• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven  to 350 F (175 C)

2. Grease the bottom and sides of a muffin tin with coconut oil or ghee. You can also line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

3. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and stir.

4. Combine all wet ingredients in a bowl.

5. Separate the eggs to a  lighter, fluffier cake. Whip up the egg whites and fold them into the batter.

6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a hand- mixer until combined.

7. Fold the egg whites into the batter right before goes into the oven.

8. Line muffin tin with muffin cups and evenly divide the batter and the blueberries between the 12 muffin cups. Pour half the batter into the cups and add half of the blueberries. Pour the remaining batter and add the rest of the blueberries on top of the batter. 

9. Bake in the oven for 20-30 min. The batter will remain light colored on top, so use a toothpick to make sure the middle is cooked through.If you are not at sea level it may take 5 or 10 min more to cook.

My tips

• The reason why you add the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl is because a chemical reaction occurs once you mix the wet and dry ingredients together that helps the cake rise. It's important to have this reaction happen right before the batter goes into the oven from preventing your baking to fall a little flat.

• If your muffins sink in the middle, is because your wet to dry ratio may be slightly off. You can add one or two more spoons of almond flour.

• I’ve tried this recipe with coconut flour and is also delicious. The ratio used for the flour is different, since the coconut flour is very absorbent. If you want to give it a try, use only 1 cup of coconut flour instead of two cups.

• Every time I go on a trip I bake these goodies, so that I can always have something healthy and energized.
