Grain Free Blueberry & Almond Muffins (Breakfast)

StarStarStarStarHalf star

Your rating

These gluten-free (can be dairy free and nut free, see Notes) muffins are a great start to the day as they contain no refined sugars and instead provide slow release energy through their relatively high protein content. If you are diabetic, use stevia in place of maple syrup.
