Ingredients

Servings6

1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum included)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Zest of 1 medium lemon
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and stir in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined—avoid overmixing to maintain muffin tenderness.
Fold in the blueberries carefully, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
Prepare a silicone muffin tray or heat-safe muffin cups that fit your air fryer basket by lining with paper liners or lightly greasing.
Spoon the batter evenly into 6 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tray in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 14-16 minutes. Check doneness using a toothpick inserted into the center; it should come out clean.
Carefully remove the tray from the air fryer and let the muffins cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a wholesome, sweet snack.
