These gluten-free muffins are light, moist, and perfect for lunch boxes or wholesome snacking. Made with simple pantry staples, they offer a comforting flavor with cinnamon and vanilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) almond flour
  • 1 cup (100g) oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh or frozen blueberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing the cups generously or lining with silicone liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in optional chopped nuts or blueberries if using.
  6. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes until muffins are golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Measure flours accurately by spooning and leveling with a knife to avoid dense muffins. Do not overmix the batter to prevent toughness. Use room temperature eggs for better rise. Let muffins cool fully before packing to hold together better. For moister muffins, swap half the Greek yogurt with unsweetened applesauce. Muffins freeze well; thaw overnight in fridge or warm gently in microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.
