Ingredients

• 200 grams Whole wheat flour
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 120 grams Honey or maple syrup
• 150 grams Plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
• 80 milliliters Milk (preferably almond or oat milk)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 60 milliliters Coconut oil (melted, cooled slightly)
• 150 grams Fresh or frozen blueberries
• 10 grams Rolled oats (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), Greek yogurt, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 5

Gently fold in the blueberries, being cautious not to mash them if you're using fresh ones.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle a small amount of rolled oats on the tops for an extra touch, if desired.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
