Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other fruit in this recipe?

Definitely! Try blueberries, raspberries, strawberries!

How do I store these muffins?

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.

Where can I buy almond flour?

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.

Can these be made vegan?

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!
