Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, use them straight from the freezer, and don't thaw them. This helps prevent too much bleeding from the juice.

How do you prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the muffins.

Coating the blueberries with the flour before mixing it into the batter prevents them from falling to the bottom. This is why we add the blueberries to the flour mixture before combining it with the wet ingredients.

Can I use a different oil instead of coconut oil?

Yes absolutely, butter, ghee or avocado oil would be good. Olive oil will work and will give the muffins a subtle fruity flavor.

Can you make these muffins vegan?

Yes! Simply use flax eggs in place of the regular eggs. To make three flax eggs, combine 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed with 6 1/2 tablespoon of water, stir and then let it sit for 5 minutes or so.

Can I use a different kind of flour instead of almond flour?

Honestly I haven't tried it but cashew flour is known to be one of the best and closest substitutes for almond flour. If you try it please leave a comment, let us know how it comes out.
