How to Make Almond Flour Blackberry Muffins

Frequently Asked Questions
Definitely! Try blueberries, raspberries, strawberries!
These muffins must be stored in the refrigerator after they cool off so that the blackberries don’t turn. Pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds to warm them up before you eat. These muffins can also be frozen to keep them for up to 3 months.
Almond flour can be bought in almost any grocery store now! You should be able to find it in the general baking section but it may also be in the health food section.
I have not tried to make these vegan. If you do try to make these with an egg substitute let me know how it works out!
