Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a 12 cup muffin pan with parchment liners.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, maple sugar, coconut oil, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine, then let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Coat the blueberries with 2 teaspoons of tapioca flour or arrowroot to prevent sinking. Stir 3/4 cup of the blueberries into the batter, reserving the rest for topping. Fill the muffin liners close to the top and sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top.
Bake for 5 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350°F, continuing for 15-17 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
Cool the muffins in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For glazing, mix powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzle over the muffins once cooled. Garnish with extra lemon zest if desired.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple sugar based on your preference.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
