Tip 1

Coating frozen blueberries in flour mixture prevents them from sinking and reduces bleeding into the batter.

Tip 2

Adjust water gradually to achieve proper batter consistency - it should be thick but not stiff.

Tip 3

Use silicone liners for easiest removal, or grease parchment liners well to prevent sticking.

FAQ

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh blueberries work well but may bleed less color into the batter. Coat them in flour mixture before folding in to prevent sinking.

What if I don't have protein powder?

You can substitute with additional almond flour, but the muffins will be less protein-rich and may have slightly different texture.

How long do these muffins keep?

Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. They also freeze well for up to 3 months.
