Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen blueberries, thawed and drained)

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup almond flour

⅓ cup granulated sugar

⅓ cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice added)

⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil for a richer flavor)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Optional: powdered sugar (for dusting at the end)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin pan by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk these ingredients together until they are thoroughly combined and well mixed.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, crack the large egg and whisk it until it's light. Then, add the buttermilk (or the mixture of milk with lemon juice), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until you achieve a smooth consistency.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to gently fold them together. Avoid overmixing; it’s perfectly fine if there are a few lumps in the batter.

          Fold in Blueberries: Carefully add the fresh blueberries into the batter, gently folding them in until they are evenly distributed. Be cautious to avoid smashing the berries.

            Fill Muffin Cups: Using a scoop or spoon, evenly distribute the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about ¾ full to give the muffins room to rise beautifully while baking.

              Add Almonds: Sprinkle the sliced almonds generously on top of each muffin for a delightful crunch and added flavor when baked.

                Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-21 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. For a lovely finishing touch, you can dust the muffins with powdered sugar just before serving.
