Lemon Blueberry Muffins

By March 3, 2017

Baking is an extremely new thing to me. Generally I stick to treats like macaroons or protein bars but I’ve become curious about the world of gluten free flours, so I’ve started experimenting. Last week I wrote about my almond flour experience and how happy I was to have found a gluten free flour that didn’t taste like cardboard. Well, I have another to add to the list – coconut flour. When I tasted these muffins for the third time (it took me that long to get the recipe right) I was so pleased with the texture! I’ve been gluten free for awhile now but from what I remember gluten tasting like, these muffins are pretty darn close to the “real thing”.
