  • Yield

    Makes 6 muffins

Ingredients

Muffins

1 2/3 cups almond meal
1 cup golden flax meal (about 3/4 cup whole seeds ground into powder)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons agave syrup
1 tablespoon alcohol-free vanilla extract, or the seeds from 1 vanilla bean
1 tablespoon liquid coconut oil
1/3 cup filtered water, as needed
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Glaze

1/2 cup cashews, ground into a fine powder
2 tablespoons blackberry juice (from about 1/3 cup blackberries pushed through a wire sieve)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
2 tablespoons agave syrup
1 tablespoon filtered water, as needed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the muffins, mix together the almond meal, flax meal, and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the agave syrup, vanilla, and coconut oil and mix well. Add the water and mix to a batter consistency. Fold in the blueberries.

    To make the glaze, combine the cashews, blackberry juice, lemon juice, agave syrup, and water in the Personal Blender with the 1-cup container and blend until smooth.

    Step 4

    To serve, frost each muffin with the glaze.

    Step 5
