Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups oat flour - use gluten free if needed
- ½ cup finely ground blanched almond flour*
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons water

- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- zest of 1 lemon 2 tablespoons
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-in Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add water and milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with these liquids.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: water, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, oil, sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in blueberries.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared muffin pan—filling each cup all the way to the top for big, round tops, and ¾ of the way for a higher quantity of smaller muffins. Bake for 18-24 minutes. Mine took 22 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness—once it comes out clean, it’s done.
- Place muffin pan on a cooling rack to cool for 30 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. Enjoy! Storing Instructions below.
