Servings & Timing
Yield: 8–10 muffins
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 20–25 minutes
Total Time: About 35 minutes
Ingredients List
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup monk fruit sweetener
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with muffin liners or grease it lightly with butter or oil.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, monk fruit sweetener, and baking powder until well combined.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir well until smooth and the batter is fully combined.
Step 4: Fold in the Blueberries
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
Step 5: Scoop and Bake
Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Additional Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil or another non-dairy fat instead of butter.
- If you don’t have fresh blueberries, frozen blueberries can work as well. Just fold them in gently to avoid them bleeding into the batter.
- For extra sweetness, top with a sprinkle of monk fruit sweetener before baking.

Ingredient Details & Substitutions
Almond Flour
- Almond flour provides the best texture and flavor for gluten-free baking. You can substitute with coconut flour, but the ratio will be different — use only ¼ to ½ of the amount of coconut flour.
Monk Fruit Sweetener
- Monk fruit is a great low-carb option for sweetening. If you don’t have it, erythritol or stevia can be used, but you may need to adjust the amount.
Butter
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil or melted avocado oil.
