Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Equipment

  • 1 Muffin Tin
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • 1 Wire Cooling Rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well with coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them first to prevent the batter from turning purple.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial to prevent them from becoming soggy.
