Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with coconut oil.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients:

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Prepare Blueberries:
   • Toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon of almond flour to coat them. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
6. Fill the Muffin Tin:
   • Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
7. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool:
   • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
