- 1 3/4 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, for topping (optional)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, almond milk, melted oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, do not thaw them first.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops of the muffins with sliced almonds.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, ensure you use oil instead of butter and almond milk.
- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can increase the sugar by 1 tablespoon.
- To keep these muffins moist, avoid overbaking them. Check for doneness at 20 minutes.
- You can substitute the fresh strawberries with blueberries or raspberries.
