Notes
Coconut Sugar: you can use brown sugar here if you prefer
Almond Flour + Cassava Flour: I love using the almond flour + cassava flour combo as the resulting texture is so soft and not grainy!
Dairy-Free: feel free to use coconut oil or plant-based butter instead of regular butter here.
Whole Wheat Flour: to make these with whole wheat flour simply use 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour in place of BOTH the almond flour and cassava flour. Bake for 18-20 minutes. All other directions/measurements are the same!
Blueberries: we used fresh blueberries but you can also use frozen!
Eggs: no need to be room temperature, I used mine right out of the fridge!
All Purpose Flour: I haven't tested this with all-purpose flour, but will update the recipe card if I do!
Gluten Free Flour: if you are using a 1-to-1 gluten free flour I would recommend using approximately 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups!
