Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and line a 12 cup muffin pan with parchment liners.
- Prepare the crumb top first: Place all ingredients together in a medium bowl and combine well using a fork until a thick crumb forms (it will thicken while chilled). Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the muffin batter.
- Try to have all ingredients at room temperature before adding. In one bowl, combine the 3 flours, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, lemon juice, sugar, vanilla, almond extract and coconut oil. I typically add the coconut oil last so it doesn't have time to form solid pieces in the mixture.
- Once combined, add in the dry mixture and stir (don't vigorously mix or use a blender) until no flour spots can be seen. Lumpy batter is good for the texture and rise of the muffins. Once the dry ingredients are incorporated, gently fold in 3/4 of the blueberries.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan approximately 3/4 of the way full. Top each one with remaining blueberries and a generous sprinkle of the crumb top (I made 12 muffins and used nearly all of the crumb topping)
- Bake in the preheated oven (375) for 18-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of one comes out clean. Allow to cool in the muffin pan for a few minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy!
