Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 350℉. Prepare 12 muffins tins by placing paper liners inside and spraying lightly with olive oil.
Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add mashed bananas, 2 eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; whisk gently to combine (don't over-mix - I would not recommend using an electric mixer).
Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, add 1 ¼ cups super-fine almond flour, 1 cup cassava flour, ¾ cup coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt; whisk to combine ensuring any clumps of almond flour are broken up.
Combine: Pour the Dry Ingredients into the Wet Ingredients. Mix to combine.
Blueberries + Butter: Place 1 cup blueberries in a small bowl and add about 1 tablespoon cassava flour; stir to coat the blueberries. Add the blueberries to the muffin mixture. Gently fold into the batter. Add the melted butter and fold into the batter.
Bake: Divide the batter between 12 muffins tins. Sprinkle with organic cane sugar (if using). Place in oven to bake, middle rack, and let cook 19-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Serve: Let cool in the muffin tin about 5 minutes and then let them finish cooling on a cooling rack. Enjoy!

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!
