    Hazelnut Blueberry Muffins adapted from Grandma’s Favorite Recipe

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on July 11, 2022 Bread, Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes

    Back when he was writing for Just Baking, Allen Williams shared this recipe for Hazelnut Blueberry Muffins with us. Allen came across his great-grandmother’s recipe for blueberry muffins while rummaging through his mother’s recipe box. He made the muffins and instantly fell for the delicate, moist consistency. But a spontaneous discovery of hazelnut flour / meal at the grocery store resulted in a new twist.

    Grandma's Dairy-Free Hazelnut Blueberry Muffins Recipe

    Hazelnut Blueberry Muffins adapted from Grandma’s Favorite Recipe

    These hazelnut blueberry muffins use his great-grandmother’s base recipe but have a double nutty infusion.

    These hazelnut blueberry muffins turned out well, as moist and light as I remember. The hazelnut flour added a very slight nutty flavor and nice dark flecks of color to the muffin itself. The chopped hazelnut topping provides a crunchy contrast to the texture.

    Next time, I might increase the lemon zest by another teaspoon. Also, I don’t suggest that ‘more is better’ when it comes to adding the blueberries. I had an extra 1/4 cup or so that I threw in and it compromised the structure of the muffins (a few fell apart when being removed from the muffin tin). Enjoy the recipe — I’ll definitely make them again! And although I love the original blueberry muffin recipe, I’m sure my great-grandmother would approve of this new version.

    Ingredient Notes & Tips

    We’re updating this recipe in honor of National Blueberry Muffin Day, and I have a few ingredient options to add, too!

    • Hazelnut Flour / Meal – You don’t have to buy this at the store. You can grind your own hazelnuts into a meal or flour using a spice grinder or food processor. You’ll need just 1/3 cup or so of hazelnuts, as you the amount becomes more voluminous once ground. As another option, you can use almond flour or almond meal in place of the hazelnut flour.
    • Oil / Shortening – The density of the coconut oil or non-hydrogenated shortening adds richness. But you can use your favorite baking oil if you don’t have either on hand.
    • Lemon Zest – Allen would add more zest, but it isn’t an essential ingredient. If you don’t have any lemons on hand, you can omit this ingredient.
