UPDATE: check out my Mini Blueberry Muffins How-to video!
Blueberry muffins are such a classic little treat. Great for breakfast, an afternoon snack with a cup of tea or even dessert. These Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins, made with coconut flour, are light, fluffy and satisfying.
This is the first coconut flour recipe I have posted. My favorite taste tester (that would be the beloved husband) and I had a conversation last night about my coconut flour recipes during which he gave me his blessing to post this one for blueberry muffins. The boys also gave their tacit approval by gobbling down a full batch.
Between those two stamps of approval (and several others that I won’t take the time to detail here), I would say these gluten-free blueberry muffins are ready for “prime time!” Enjoy.

Equipment
Please note: longtime readers, this recipe uses coconut flour, not almond flour. These two flours have very different properties; substituting one for the other will not work. I have had a lot of fun cooking with coconut flour and am looking forward to sharing more of these light and fluffy recipes with you!
Judy says
Too many eggs for me. Any suggestions to substitute. Maybe sticking to almond flour. Advise Thank you
Elana says
Judy, recipes with coconut flour typically contain a number of eggs. Here’s an almond flour muffin recipe for you:

Susan says
I made two batches yesterday, gave most of them as gifts, they are so yummy and as always, your recipes are very easy. I am making another batch today and was wondering if these could be frozen? If I leave them all out for my husband, they won’t last!
Elana says
Susan, thanks for your kind words –easy is the name of the game here! I haven’t tried freezing these so not sure if that would work. If you do LMK :-)

I am a registered dietitian and specialize in food sensitivities. I have been giving my clients your website for the last 10 years at least, and also sharing it with other dietitians and physicians. It has been my #1 favorite resource. Every single recipe is a winner. As you said, “easy is the name of the game,” which is so helpful and true for clients dealing with food sensitivities. Thank you!
Elana says
Susan, thank you so much for sharing my work with your clients and colleagues!!!
