Delicious Blueberry Muffins Made with Almond Flour *Low Carb & Gluten Free are perfect for breakfast, or a snack. With only 12 carbs per muffin, they make an excellent snack for lower carb lifestyles.
Since my husband wants me to virtually cut out all white sugars form our family diet, I have been scrambling to find healthy, low carb versions of our favorite dishes. Blueberry muffins are some of our most cherished desserts that are loaded with fat, and sugar when made the traditional way. I recently received some Bob’s Red Mill Almond Flour in from Vitacost to review, so I knew I wanted to incorporate it into my recipes.
I have to admit, I have never cooked with Almond Flour before, but researched some recipes for blueberry muffins made with almond flour, and came up with a version that tastes amazing! There is no unhealthy fat, no white sugar, and no white flour! Best of all, this recipe is loaded with healthy fats, is gluten free & low carb. I do not have the official calculator on fats, but I know they are good for you!

Are you sure the temp shouldn’t be 350 not 250. I wondered if it was right and after 17 mins at 250 my muffins are gooey. Cranking it to 350 and putting it back in for more time…
Amy says

Is it one cup or one pound of blueberries? Scale shows 1lb, recipe says 1c
Amy says
Sorry, 1 lb is correct!

I’m wondering how many calories, fat, protein and net carbs are in each muffin. Usually there is a section where it tells this information but I do t see it.
