- 1/4 cup Raw Honey

*Expert Tip: Using a super-fine grind prevents a grainy texture and ensures a professional-grade crumb.
Raw Unfiltered Honey: [View on Amazon
*Expert Tip: Raw honey retains enzymes and antioxidants that refined sweeteners lack.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- In a high-speed blender, combine the Greek yogurt, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla extract. Process for 30 seconds until fully emulsified.
- Add the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the blender. Pulse for approximately 1 minute or until the batter is smooth. Avoid over-blending to keep the muffins light.
- Gently fold in the blueberries by hand using a spatula to ensure they remain intact.
- Distribute the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.
- Transfer the muffins to a wire cooling rack. Allow them to set for at least 10 minutes before serving to ensure the almond flour structure firms up.
Kitchen Tech:
Utilizing a High-Speed Blender not only streamlines cleanup but also aerates the yogurt and eggs, creating a much fluffier texture than traditional hand-mixing for grain-free flours.
Professional Notes
Storage: Store these muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Because they are moisture-dense, refrigeration helps maintain the integrity of the almond flour.
Freezing: These are excellent for meal prepping. Wrap individual muffins in parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in the oven at 300°F.
