  • Feel free to add extra blueberries on top before baking for more fruity goodness.
  • When baking, use every other muffin cavity in the pan to give each muffin room to rise beautifully.

Got questions? We’ve got answers:

  • Wondering if you can use almond flour instead of all-purpose? While we haven’t tested it, you can give it a try and let us know how it turns out!
  • Want to make these muffins gluten-free? Just swap in a gluten-free flour blend like Bob’s Red Mill or King Arthur’s.
  • Thinking about skipping the eggs? Try using yogurt, banana, applesauce, or a nut or seed butter instead. Start with about 1/3 cup.
