These blueberry almond muffins are made to satisfy your sweet tooth. They are gluten-free and delicious too. Grounded almonds replace white flour and add substantial nutrition, i.e. protein, healthy fats and gentle fibre. All of these nutrients work to normalise blood sugar levels and hence help to fight sweet tooth cravings.
Almonds are one of my favourite foods. They tend to be tolerated by most people and taste great. They are a good source of calcium, magnesium and B6, key nutrients for the brain and nervous system. For instance in children, a handful of almonds (approx. 12 whole almonds) can have an immediate calming effect, normalise behaviour and relieve anxiety. This is due to the synergistic combination of calming minerals and B6.
You can replace the honey in the recipe with xylitol (same amount) if you want to reduce your sugar intake or are following an anti-fungal diet.
