Ingredients
-
½ cup avocado oil or unsalted butter
-
1 cup date sugar
-
3 eggs, room temperature
-
¾ cup white whole wheat flour
-
½ cup almond flour
-
¼ tsp salt
-
2 tsp baking powder
-
¾ cup fresh blueberries
-
1–2 tbsp reduced-fat milk
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat together avocado oil and date sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating until each is incorporated. After the last egg, beat well to fluff up the mixture.
-
Sift white whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder together in a separate bowl.
-
Gradually add sifted dry ingredients and almond flour to the wet mixture while mixing on low (“stir” setting).
-
Lightly crush the blueberries with a fork and add them, juice included, to the batter. Stir gently—do not overmix.
-
Add reduced-fat milk as needed to bring the batter together. Stir until just combined.
-
Scoop batter into a muffin tin lined with paper cups, filling each ¾ of the way full.
-
Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Let muffins cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
-
To lower the sugar content further, use monk fruit or stevia instead of date sugar, though texture may vary.
-
Frozen blueberries can be used, but toss them in a teaspoon of flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
-
Muffins can be stored in the fridge for up to 6 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
-
For added texture, sprinkle chopped walnuts or oats on top before baking.
