Ingredients
  

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

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup almond flour

⅓ cup granulated sugar

⅓ cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large egg

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

⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Optional: powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk (or milk with lemon juice), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together until mixed.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to the batter, ensuring they're evenly distributed without breaking them apart too much.

            Fill Muffin Cups: Using a scoop or spoon, evenly divide the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.

              Add Almonds: Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of each muffin for an added crunch and flavor.

                Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-21 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
