Greetings Honeyville Fans! My name is Ayla and I am a low carb, grain free, “no sugar added” blogger, commonly known as “Gourmet Girl Cooks”. After going grain free almost 2 years ago (following Dr. William Davis’ Wheat Belly program), I have created and shared hundreds of grain free, “real food” recipes via my blog, Gourmet Girl Cooks. I am both honored and flattered to have been invited to do a guest post for Honeyville’s blog. I have been using Honeyville’s blanched almond flour for almost 2 years now and I am a loyal and devoted customer. I began using their almond flour in 2012 when I made the decision to go grain free due to health reasons. I conducted an extensive search for a high quality grain free replacement flour to bake and cook with. It was important to me that it not only be grain free, but starch free as well. I was looking for a single ingredient “real food” flour substitute. During my search, I tested four other brands of almond flour to see if I could find a better value or product, and I consistently found Honeyville’s blanched almond flour superior to all the other brands I tried. It produced high quality baked goods that were as good as, if not better than, those made with regular flour.

Speaking as someone who initially switched to using almond flour for health reasons, Honeyville’s blanched almond flour has been a blessing. It has kept me from feeling deprived of some of my favorite foods and has allowed me to enjoy baked goods that don’t adversely affect my health.
Their 5-pound bag lasts a long time and pound for pound is actually cheaper than most other blanched almond flours on the market. It produces superior quality baked goods that are lighter, fluffier and finer textured. As someone that loves to bake and cook, this almond flour has made going grain free easier and much more enjoyable. Their almond flour is always fresh and the quality is consistent, bag after bag.
When it comes to food and cooking, I am known to be quite persnickety and somewhat of a perfectionist, so when I say Honeyville is the best, it’s because I truly believe it is. I am excited to share my Lemon Blueberry Muffins with you that are made with Honeyville’s blanched almond flour. There’s just something magical about the combination of lemon and blueberries…they sort of go together like peas and carrots. The addition of unsweetened coconut gives these muffins a little bit of crunch. You could easily substitute finely chopped pecans in place of the coconut, if you prefer. The fact that these muffins are also sugar free makes them even better. They are delicious enjoyed with a cup of coffee or convenient to take along as a portable breakfast or snack on the go.
Check out the recipe and photos below. I hope you enjoy these muffins as much as I do! Enjoy!
