Jump to Recipe

These lemon blueberry muffins are soft and moist, loaded with juicy blueberries, and full of bright lemon flavor. Finished off with a a sweet lemon drizzle.

Hello, sweet friends…

I’m not gonna lie, I’m ready for summer. I am NOT a winter girl AT ALL. Today I’m dreaming of warm weather and flip flops. But alas, it’s snowing outside here in the mountains of North Carolina.

These little muffins are my way of calling in what I want more of: summer berries and bright sunny flavors.

My family agrees: these muffins are amazing and DO feel like a little burst of sunshine on this snowy day.

If you’re looking for me, I’ll just be cozied up under a blanket watching the snow eating my muffins dreaming of warmer days.

Hope you love these as much as we do.

Description

Easy Lemon Blueberry Muffins loaded with juicy blueberries and bright lemon flavor. Gluten and grain free with a dairy free option.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour (I use THIS blanched brand)
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot powder (like this)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup ghee, butter, or coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • zest from one lemon
  • 1 cup blueberries (plus more for sprinkling on top)

FOR THE LEMON GLAZE

  • 1/3 cup coconut butter (I use THIS brand)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (I use THIS brand)
  • 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350’F.  Line muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
  2. Mix together almond flour, arrowroot, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, fat of choice, maple syrup, lemon juice, and zest. Add wet to dry and mix until well incorporated.  Fold in blueberries.
  4. Divide batter evenly into 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle a few blueberries on top of each muffin. Bake for 17-20 minutes, until golden on top and toothpick comes out clean in center. Remove from oven and allow to cool. 
  5. When muffins are cool, prepare glaze by melting coconut butter and coconut oil in a small double boiler (I place a small glass bowl over a small pot). Whisk in 1 tablespoon of sweetener and lemon juice. Taste and add more sweetener if necessary.  Don’t worry if it gets clumpy. Remove from heat and whisk in hot water 1 teaspoon at a time until glaze is smooth and glossy.  Keep whisking.  It will get there.
  6. Drizzle glaze over muffins.  ENJOY!

i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the b i wish i had understood this 10 years ago at the beginning of my healing journey 

healing, digestion, and rest are all parasympathetic processes • if the body is in a chronic stress state, these things do not happen 

chronic stress produces stress hormones that created physiological changes in the body (increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, increased blood sugar levels) • these changes take the focus away from digestion and repair 

reducing and eliminating the triggers that create constant stress on the body is crucial to being able to heal • because the body does not let go or heal when it doesn’t feel safe 

how to create safety in the body? —-> addressing life stress, woundings/traumas, underlying infections, toxicities (heavy metals, plastics, etc), nutritional deficiencies, environmental hazards like mold, and anything else that is constantly triggering the body to feel unsafe
💗 start with the basics • your well-being is 💗 start with the basics • your well-being is only as strong as the foundation you build it on 

💗 your mental and physical health is determined by the bed rock you have to lean on when “stress” happens 

💗 building resilience in the body and mind is how you navigate difficult situations 

💗 if you are not where you want to be in life, in health, in mindset... consider going back to the basics 

💗 the basics:

- the food you eat 
- the water you drink 
- your quality of sleep
- your daily movement
- your daily mindset
- your level of stress
- the quality of your breath 
- your drainage pathways 
- the people you surround yourself with 

💗 absolutely no judgement here • we are all in different seasons of life • just a loving reminder that a strong foundation is necessary to build upon
