Ingredients You’ll Need

1/3 cup blanched almond flour: The base of our muffins, almond flour adds moistness and a nutty flavor. Opt for blanched for a finer texture.
2 tablespoons tapioca flour or arrowroot flour: A starch that provides the perfect binding structure. If you’re out of tapioca, arrowroot is a fantastic substitute.
2 tablespoons maple sugar: This natural sweetener imparts a lovely caramelized flavor. Coconut sugar is an excellent alternative if needed.
2 tablespoons refined coconut oil, melted, or ghee: Adds moisture and richness. Use ghee for a dairy-free version.
Pinch salt: A crucial ingredient to enhance the flavors.
3 large eggs, room temperature: Eggs provide structure and moisture. Remember to let them sit at room temperature for the best incorporation!
3/4 cup maple sugar or coconut sugar: Sweetens our muffins perfectly, balancing the acidity of strawberries.
1/3 cup refined coconut oil, melted, or ghee: Helps keep the muffins moist and adds a slight richness.
1/4 cup almond milk: This keeps our muffins tender and provides a hint of nuttiness. For a dairy-free version, stick with almond milk!
2 teaspoons vanilla extract: A powerhouse of flavor that rounds out the sweetness.
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice: Adds brightness and acidity, enhancing the strawberries.
2 3/4 cups blanched almond flour: The bulk of our muffin base, offering a delightful texture.
1/2 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot flour: Works alongside almond flour for the perfect muffin consistency.
1 teaspoon baking soda: This helps our muffins rise beautifully.
1 teaspoon baking powder: Acts as another leavening agent to achieve fluffiness.
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt: Balances sweetness and highlights flavors.
1 cup strawberries, diced small: Fresh strawberries are the star here — their sweetness and juice create a special touch.
1 tablespoon tapioca flour for tossing berries: Prevents our berries from sinking in the batter.

How to Make Almond Flour Strawberry Muffins

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with parchment liners. This ensures easy removal later!
Make the Crumb Topping: In a small bowl, combine some almond flour, coconut oil, and maple sugar for the topping. Mix until crumbly and refrigerate while preparing the batter.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, 3/4 cup maple sugar, melted coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt. The batter will be quite thick.
Let the Batter Rest: Allow the batter to sit for about 5 minutes to thicken and settle.
Prepare the Strawberries: Pat the diced strawberries with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then toss them in 1 tablespoon of tapioca flour. This will help prevent them from sinking. Gently fold the strawberries into the batter.
Fill Muffin Liners: Spoon the batter into the muffin liners, filling them all the way to the top. Generously sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter.
Bake: Start by baking in the preheated oven for 5 minutes at 400°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 15-17 minutes. They’re done when the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool Down: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then remove them and let them finish cooling on a wire rack.

Storing & Reheating

To keep your muffins fresh, store them covered at room temperature for up to a day. After that, transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to four more days. If you’d like to freeze these muffins, place them in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to three months. To enjoy them again, reheat in the microwave for about 15–20 seconds. Do note, the texture may slightly change, but a quick zap brings back that moistness!

Chef’s Helpful Tips

For best results, ensure all wet ingredients, especially eggs, are at room temperature. This improves integration into the batter.
Avoid overmixing once you add the dry ingredients; it can make the muffins dense.
If your strawberries are particularly juicy, don’t be afraid to adjust the amount to prevent sogginess.
Consider experimenting with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a delightful twist.
These muffins can be made ahead of time, making them a fantastic option for meal-prepping breakfasts!

These Almond Flour Strawberry Muffins are a beautiful blend of flavor and texture, perfect for any occasion. They’re not just a simple muffin; they are a delightful expression of spring. Feel free to enjoy them fresh out of the oven or save them for later. Whichever way you choose to savor these muffins, I hope they bring as much joy to your kitchen as they have to mine!

Recipe FAQs

How can I make these muffins vegan?

You can substitute the eggs with flax eggs. To make one flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit until gelatinous. Use this in place of each egg!

Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

While fresh strawberries yield the best flavor and texture, you can use frozen strawberries. Just make sure to thaw and drain them to reduce excess moisture before adding to the batter.

What can I replace almond flour with if I have nut allergies?

If you’re looking for a nut-free alternative, try using sunflower seed flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. The texture may vary slightly, but it will still be delicious!

How do I know when my muffins are done?

Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, they are ready! Overbaking can lead to dry muffins, so keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time.
