(makes 6)
- 160g blueberries
- 90g ground almonds
- 40g Plain gluten-free flour (I used: but you can also use rice flour or buckwheat)
- 5x Tbsp Almond milk
- 4x Tbsp Maple syrup
- 1x Tbsp Chia Seeds
- 1x Tsp Lucuma powder (this is optional but it does add to the flavour so if you can then definitely add it).
- ½ Tsp Vanilla extract
- ¼ Tsp Baking powder
- Pinch of Himalayan salt
- Muffin Cases
1) Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C
2) In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients (except the blueberries) and mix until everything has combined.
3) Add the blueberries and gently fold them in (so they don’t break)
4) Spoon the mix evenly into the muffin cases and pop them into the oven for around 25-30 mins until the blueberries start to bubble and the top turns golden brown.
5) Once ready leave them to cool on a cooling rack. Once cooled enjoy!
