Recipe from Everyday Grain-Free Baking Cookbook directions adapted.

  • Author: Laura – MOMables
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 18 minutes
  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Yield: 8
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Oven
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

Units
  • ½ cup plain whole-milk yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ¾ cups blanched almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup blueberries or strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line muffin pan with 8 liners.
  2. Place yogurt, melted butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla, and apple cider vinegar into a blender.
  3. Blend just until combined.
  4. Add almond flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture and blend.
  5. The batter will be very thick, so you might need to wipe the sides with a spatula.
  6. Add the eggs to the thick batter and blend, just until everything is combined. If you over mix, the muffins won’t be tender.
  7. If you are adding blueberries to these muffins, transfer batter into a bowl and fold in the berries. Then, distribute batter evenly into the 8 muffin cups.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

Whole30 & Family KickStart: substitute whole milk yogurt with canned coconut milk. Omit the honey and add ¼ teaspoon liquid stevia.

    My daughter is dairy-free – can I use a lactose free yogurt to make these?

      Amanda, the short answer is yes. You can use a dairy-free yogurt. However, I recommend using canned coconut milk as a substitute.

    Can you use coconut flour instead of almond flour?

      No you can’t. Coconut flour isn’t a flour but ground coconut and it absorbs 10x the liquid. Sorry!

    Has anyone tried an egg substitute for this recipe? Applesauce maybe?

      Yes, tried it and it did not work. Sorry. Applesauce is a great wet ingredient substitute but it won’t bind the almond flour as well.

    These are very good and my kids gobble them up. I switch it up and sometimes put a mini chocolate chips. (I made the recipe as is)

    Not sure what I did wrong – I made as directed and the batter never was batter – Just like a dough almost – I used coconut flour – Could that have been the problem?

      Unfortunately, coconut flour was the problem. It is not a substitute for any other flour as it will absorb more liquid.

    These look great, but Laura, where did you get your white/black polka dot top in the opening of the video?? It would match the accents of my daughter’s Easter dress perfectly!

    I am going to try this :)
    I need to clarify what do you meant by:
    blanched almond flour?

      blanched almond flour is ground up soaked almonds without skin. different than almond meal.

      I’ve frozen them after they are made. the texture isn’t quite the same but it’s still good after they are thawed and heated. I like that the recipe only yields 8. I store them in the fridge for the week.

      Hi, Janine. Yes, you can use coconut milk, but it will impact the rise and texture a bit. But taste will still be delicious!

      Shavonne, I’ve only tried this recipe as stated in the cookbook. This was specifically developed to be grain and gluten free. I am working on creating my own version with regular flours.

    Those sound delicious! I was wondering if there are any non-nut substitures for the almond flour? My kid’s daycare is nut-free. Thanks!

      The book talks about using sunflower seed flour. When baking, however, they turn greenish.

      I’ve had several readers use my Coconut Flour Pancake recipe on the blog to make these muffins and have reported that they bake beautifully in a muffin tin. :) You can fin my coconut flour pancake recipe here.
