You don’t quite get the lift…the height.. out of these almond flour blueberry muffins like you do when baking with white flour. But, you know what else you don’t get….you don’t get the heaviness….the weight… the sugar crash…that muffins made with white flour and sugar come with. Another upside to these healthy lemon blueberry muffins is the hint of lemon flavor and abundance of fresh blueberries in them.
These healthy lemon blueberry muffins are a family favorite! If I can’t find big juicy blueberries at my local health food store, then I’ll typically use organic frozen berries (Earthbound Farm are my fave). If you use frozen blueberries, it’s best if you don’t defrost them before adding them to the batter. And you’ll love how easy this healthy lemon blueberry muffin recipe is to pull together.

This is my go-to healthy lemon blueberry muffin recipe. It’s in regular rotation at our house and doesn’t require many ingredients. It’s so easy to throw together. And it’s adult and kid approved!
I’m so glad you like the muffins! They’re my favorite too!
I think I have made these over a dozen times now, so I thought it was high-time for me to leave a comment and thank you! When I first started making these, I used butter (sometimes browned) in place of coconut oil looking for a financier sort of effect, and this (almost) worked. I’ve also tried adding a small amount of coconut flour to see if that gave them a more cakey texture, and this was good too. But last time, for the first time, I actually just followed the recipe as is and, low and behold, they were the best version yet. I’m waiting for another batch of these in the oven now! Thanks so much for such a delicious simple and healthy recipe, Deborah!
