PALEO GRAIN-FREE LEMON-BLUEBERRY MUFFINS-1
PALEO GRAIN-FREE LEMON-BLUEBERRY MUFFINS-2

Bright, fresh, and bursting with lemony flavor, these grain-free lemon blueberry muffins are a nourishing treat you'll want to have on hand all week. Made with almond flour and a touch of pure maple syrup, they're perfect for packing into your child’s lunchbox, serving as an after-school snack, or enjoying alongside a hard-boiled egg for a quick, wholesome breakfast. I love using frozen wild blueberries here—their smaller size means they bake more evenly into every bite.

Very delicious as written. As with most almond flour baked goods, they’re best enjoyed quickly as they do get soggy with the blueberries.
