  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted) or coconut oil (vegan)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a 12-muffin tin with paper liners
  • In a large bowl, combine almond flour, oat flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Sift twice to aerate
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs until frothy, then add non-dairy milk and continue whisking
  • Add melted butter or coconut oil and vanilla extract to wet ingredients
  • Slowly mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing
  • Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups

  • Cool in pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for better volume
Verify all flours are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination
Coconut oil makes muffins vegan (skip for non-vegan version)
Store in airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days
