Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs

If you’re looking to make some substitutions for this Lemon Almond Muffin recipe, there are a few options that you can try:

  • Flour: If you don’t have almond flour or gluten-free all purpose flour, you can use regular all-purpose flour instead. Just be aware that this will no longer be a gluten-free recipe.
  • Eggs: If you prefer not to use eggs, you can try substituting with flax eggs. To make one flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let sit for a few minutes until it thickens.
  • Coconut Oil: If you don’t have coconut oil, you can use any neutral flavored oil like canola or vegetable oil.
  • Honey: If you’re looking for a vegan option or prefer not to use honey, you can substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Toppings: If you don’t have sliced almonds or prefer a different topping, you can try chopped pecans or walnuts, shredded coconut, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
