Muffin Instructions:
Step 1 – Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
Step 2 – Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined.
Step 3 – Add Blueberries to the Batter
Gently fold in the blueberries into the batter.
Step 4 – Fill Muffin Tins
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Step 5 – Bake Muffins
Bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick, when inserted into the center of a muffin, comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6 – Coat Muffin
Take the muffins out of their paper liners. Then, melt a stick of butter and transfer it to a bowl. Dip the muffins into the melted butter, coat them well, and then roll them in a bowl filled with sugar.

Substitutions:
- Use raspberries or strawberries instead of blueberries.
- Substitute butter for coconut oil.
- If you don’t want gluten-free, substitute regular flour for tapioca, almond, and coconut flour.
- Use honey instead of maple syrup.
- Substitute egg replacers for the eggs. This will make the recipe vegan.
- If you have frozen blueberries, use them but thaw and drain excess water.
Baking Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: Bring your eggs and refrigerated ingredients to room temperature before using them in the recipe. This helps the ingredients mix together more easily and creates a smoother batter.
- Fold in the blueberries gently: When adding the blueberries to the batter, be careful not to overmix. Gently fold them in with a spatula to prevent the berries from breaking and bleeding their juices, which could affect the texture and appearance of the muffins.
- I recommend mixing the gluten-free batter just until the ingredients are combined. Stir until there are no dry pockets of flour, but avoid overmixing or vigorous stirring. This helps to maintain a light and tender texture in your gluten-free muffins.
