Gluten-Free Muffins for Kids (with Blueberries and Avocado)

These gluten-free muffins for kids are packed with fruits, veggies, and cultured dairy! I think your family will love these gluten-free muffins for kids just as much as mine does.
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Total: 30 minutes
Yield:24 mini muffins

Ingredients

  • 2 cups superfine blanched almond flour
  • 4 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 6 ounces Horizon Organic Yogurt Cups in Blueberry or 6 ounces organic blueberry yogurt of choice
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 large avocado peeled, pit removed, flesh mashed
  • 1-2 tablespoons refined coconut oil
  • cup honey
  • teaspoon lemon zest from approximately ½ of one lemon
  • teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup grated carrots
  • cup fresh blueberries or defrosted if frozen

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line muffin tin with paper muffin liners.
  • Add 2 cups superfine blanched almond flour, 4 tablespoons coconut flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 pinch salt, and 1 pinch cinnamon to medium mixing bowl. Whisk until well blended.
  • Add 6 ounces Horizon Organic Yogurt Cups in Blueberry, 2 large eggs, 1 large avocado, 1-2 tablespoons refined coconut oil, ⅓ cup honey, ⅛ teaspoon lemon zest, and 2  teaspoons pure vanilla extract to large mixing bowl. Whisk until ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and whisk until no lumps remain. Gently fold in ½ cup grated carrots and 1  cup fresh blueberries.
  • Scoop into prepared muffin tins, filling almost completely full. They will rise, but they will create lovely domed tops. Bake 20-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Let cool 5 minutes in the pan then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Bake Time: My mini muffins took about 20 minutes to bake, while my larger, bakery-style muffins took more like 27.
