gluten free blueberry muffins

UPDATE: check out my Mini Blueberry Muffins How-to video!

Blueberry muffins are such a classic little treat. Great for breakfast, an afternoon snack with a cup of tea or even dessert. These Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins, made with coconut flour, are light, fluffy and satisfying.

This is the first coconut flour recipe I have posted. My favorite taste tester (that would be the beloved husband) and I had a conversation last night about my coconut flour recipes during which he gave me his blessing to post this one for blueberry muffins. The boys also gave their tacit approval by gobbling down a full batch.

Between those two stamps of approval (and several others that I won’t take the time to detail here), I would say these gluten-free blueberry muffins are ready for “prime time!” Enjoy.

½ cup coconut flour, sifted
½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
6 eggs
⅓ cup agave nectar
⅓ cup grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

  2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, agave, grapeseed oil and vanilla and blend well with a hand blender
  3. Mix dry ingredients into wet, blending with a hand mixer
  4. Gently fold in blueberries
  5. Place batter into a paper lined 12 cup muffin pan
  6. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes
  7. Cool and serve

Please note: longtime readers, this recipe uses coconut flour, not almond flour. These two flours have very different properties; substituting one for the other will not work. I have had a lot of fun cooking with coconut flour and am looking forward to sharing more of these light and fluffy recipes with you!
