There’s something nostalgic about blueberry muffins…
They remind me of the days that my mom would treat Cheryl(s) and me to Little Bites and my dad would surprise my mom with a blueberry muffin from Starbucks on a Sunday morning.
My whole fam is under one roof for quarantine, but things are a bit different now. My brothers and I aren’t snacking on Little Bites and the closest Starbucks is closed because of COVID-19.
HOWEVER, my brothers and I have not outgrown our mini muffin obsession… If anything, our obsession has increased exponentially because there is a new blueberry muffin recipe in town… 😎
AHTK BFY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS!
Not to brag, but my muffin recipe is WAYYYY better than Little Bites’ & Starbucks’.
♡
Compared to Little Bites, AHTK BFY Blueberry Muffins have (per 4 mini muffins):
- 70% fewer carbs
- 4 more grams of fiber

Compared to Starbucks blueberry muffin, AHTK BFY Blueberry Muffins have (per traditional size muffin)
- Nearly 60% fewer calories
- 85% fewer carbs
- 4x more fiber
- Nearly 2x more protein

I prefer to bake these muffins in my silicone mini muffin baking pan because of the nostalgia factor, BUT I included baking instructions for a traditional size muffin JIC —pro tip: use the silicone muffin baking pan, it’s easier to remove the muffins!
The muffin batter yields 24 mini muffins OR 6 traditional size muffins!
Recipe
Dry:
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
Wet:
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
How To
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 24 cup mini silicone muffin cups.
- In a large bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, monk fruit sweetener, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well-combined. Form a well in the middle of the dry ingredient mixture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
- Pour liquid ingredients into the well. Mix until well-combined.
- Fold in blueberries.
- Divide muffin batter evenly into 24 greased muffin cups.
- Bake 18-22 minutes in preheated oven, or until done.
- Note: If you wish to use a traditional 12 cup muffin baking pan, divide muffin batter into 6 muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes (or until done) at 400°F.
