Tips to Make Almond Flour Muffins

Swap Out Ingredients: Can’t find almond flour? You can use coconut flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend, but adjust the quantities since those flours behave differently.

Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on those muffins. They’re best when they remain moist and soft!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? You can easily adjust this recipe. Try adding some zest of lemon or orange for a citrus twist. Looking for a vegan option? Replace the eggs with flax seeds or chia seeds mixed with water. The possibilities are endless!
