Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup almond flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup honey or maple syrup (to taste)

2 large eggs

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

½ cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed fresh berries (such as blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries)

Zest of 1 lemon

Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) for a delightful crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until they are thoroughly combined and free of lumps. This mix will provide the foundation for your muffins.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the honey (or maple syrup), eggs, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring that the eggs are fully incorporated.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, carefully fold the mixtures together until they are just combined. Avoid overmixing; it's perfectly fine to have a few lumps as this ensures a fluffy muffin.

          Add the Berries and Zest: Now, gently fold in the mixed fresh berries along with the lemon zest until evenly distributed throughout the batter. If you’re adding nuts for texture, fold them in at this stage.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full to allow room for rising while baking.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. The muffins are done when they are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating that they are fluffy and cooked through.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. These muffins can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for breakfast or a snack!

                  Prep Time: Approximately 15 minutes

                      Servings: 12 muffins

                        - Presentation Tips: For an extra touch, dust the muffins with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream on the side. Consider placing a few fresh berries on top for a beautiful finish!
