• They’re simple to whip up.
• Incredibly moist, flavourful and delicious.
• Lightly sweetened, perfect for breakfast or a healthier dessert.
• Made using wholesome ingredients, so they’re totally guilt free.

Just like my almond peanut butter cookies and banana almond muffins, the almond flour does an amazing job of adding moisture to this dessert, all without oil.

As an added bonus, these almond flour muffins are gluten free, making them suitable for anyone with a gluten intolerance.

How to make them

(This is a summary with step by step photos, full recipe measurements and instructions are in the recipe card below.)

Gather your ingredients. I recommend fresh blackberries over frozen.

Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Set aside. (photos 1-2)

Now add the wet ingredients to a small or medium sized bowl and mix well. Make sure to really get that cashew butter mixed into the other ingredients. (photos 3-4)

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until combined. (photos 5-6)

Then gently fold in the blackberries using care, not to break them. (photo 7)

Divide the mixture between 12 muffin tins and bake in your preheated oven until a toothpick comes out mostly clean and the edges are nicely golden. (photos 8-9)

Let your muffins rest in the muffin pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Common Questions

Storage

Keep your cooled vegan blackberry muffins at room temperature in a sealed container for 2-3 days. Or store in the refrigerator to keep longer.

You may also freeze your muffins in an air tight, freezer safe container for up to 3 months.

Expert Tips

1. For accuracy, it’s best to weigh your flour. But if you don’t have a kitchen scale, use 2.5 cups, and spoon and level the flour into your measuring cup.
2. Make sure your baking powder is fresh and still active. Baking powder that has been opened in your pantry for 6+ months will start to lose its effectiveness.
3. Use fresh blackberries rather than frozen. Frozen blackberries may bleed into your batter turning it purple and adds extra liquid.
4. Be gentle when folding in the blackberries to prevent them from breaking into your batter.
5. Give your muffins enough time to cool in the pan, before transferring them. Almond flour desserts can be softer and delicate so it’s easiest to remove them once slightly cooled.

Notes

For accuracy, it’s best to weigh your flour. But if you don’t have a kitchen scale, use 2.5 cups, and spoon and level the flour into your measuring cup.

Blanched almond flour works best, so don’t sub for almond meal or non blanched flour.

Make sure your baking powder is fresh and still active. Baking powder that has been open in your pantry for 6+ months will start to lose its effectiveness.

Use fresh blackberries rather than frozen. Frozen blackberries may bleed into your batter turning it purple and adds extra liquid.

Be gentle when folding in the blackberries to prevent them from breaking into your batter.

Give your muffins enough time to cool in the pan, before transferring them. Almond flour desserts can be softer and delicate so it’s easiest to remove them once slightly cooled.

Leftovers keep at room temperature for 2-3 days, refrigerated for 5-6 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
