Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup chia seeds

1/2 cup sugar (or coconut sugar)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: Zest of 1 lemon (for added flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, chia seeds, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the applesauce, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Stir until fully combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

          Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full with the batter.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool: Once done, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: These Sweet Blueberry Chia Muffins are best enjoyed warm, but they can be stored in an airtight container for a few days or frozen for later enjoyment.
