Ingredients
60 g (¼ cup) coconut oil
200 ml (⅘ cup) unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
8 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
150 g (1 ¼ cup) ground almonds (almond meal)
150 g (1 ¼ cup) gluten-free flour blend
2 heaped teaspoons of baking powder
¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
100 g (1 cup) fresh blueberries
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Place the coconut oil in a large bowl and melt over a saucepan of boiling water or in the microwave (skip this step if using any other oil).
- Once melted, add the milk to the same bowl along with the lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla, salt and ground almonds.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
- Mix well, adding a tiny splash more milk if it’s looking too dry.
- Add the fresh blueberries and fold in gently, to make sure you don’t crush them.
- Transfer the mixture between muffin cases in a muffin tin.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until risen and an inserted skewer comes out clean.
- Tastes best when fresh, but keeps covered in the fridge for up to a few days.
